When S.S. Rajamouli publicly champions a film, the moment travels far beyond a routine industry compliment. That kind of approval carries the force of cultural validation, and Dhurandhar The Revenge has now found itself at the centre of exactly that conversation after Rajamouli’s emphatic post on X praising the Ranveer Singh-led sequel.
Rajamouli wrote, “I loved Dhurandhar-1, but The Revenge surpassed the original in both scale and soul. The writing, casting, technical execution, music, world design and direction are flawless…. But it’s the emotional stakes that really ground it.” He also said director Aditya Dhar “hit it out of the park,” underlining how the film’s emotional core stayed intact even within a massive canvas.
Rajamouli Zeroes In On Ranveer Singh And R Madhavan
The filmmaker’s most striking remarks were reserved for the performances. Addressing Ranveer Singh directly, Rajamouli wrote, “What a performance man… The sequence with the sister in the shed is a masterclass in acting. From that beginning to the heart-wrenching climax, you mesmerised us both as Hamza and Jaskirat.” It was a pointed endorsement of Ranveer’s emotional range in a role built on fury, grief and transformation.
Rajamouli was equally generous toward R. Madhavan, writing, “You carried the helplessness and frustration of a nation so well that we felt your success as ours.” The line stood out for how clearly it framed Madhavan’s character as the film’s moral and emotional conduit, not merely a supporting presence in a star-led action drama.
Aditya Dhar responded with visible emotion. In his reply, he wrote, “Dearest Sir, this means more than I can put into words. Coming from you, it feels like both a blessing and a responsibility.” He added that his team tried to tell the story “with honesty and conviction” while pushing further in ambition and emotional depth.
That response also brings the spotlight back to the film itself. Dhurandhar The Revenge is directed by Aditya Dhar and features Ranveer Singh, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt and Sara Arjun. Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the Hindi crime action thriller released in theatres in March 2026. The sequel follows Hamza as a deeply personal quest for revenge grows into a larger conflict tied to national stakes.
What This Moment Means For Ranveer Singh’s Big Screen Run
Seen in the context of Ranveer Singh’s recent choices, Dhurandhar The Revenge places him firmly inside the current wave of high-scale theatrical storytelling. After Singham Again in 2024 and Dhurandhar in 2025, the actor has increasingly aligned himself with mainstream event cinema designed for large-screen impact. The first Dhurandhar later expanded its reach with a Netflix release in January 2026, helping the franchise grow beyond its theatrical run.
That makes this phase especially significant. Following the warmly received Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in 2023, Ranveer’s career has moved toward larger action-driven vehicles with franchise potential. With Don 3 already confirmed as his next major theatrical title, Dhurandhar The Revenge reinforces his place in a star system that is once again betting big on spectacle, emotion and recognisable big-screen personas.
