Vicky Kaushal is all set to reprise his iconic role of Major Vihaan Shergill in Dhurandhar 2. The actor, who won hearts with his performance in Uri: The Surgical Strike, will appear in an extended cameo in the much awaited sequel.
The news comes shortly after reports confirmed that Akshaye Khanna would not return as Rehman Dakait in the second part. Instead, his character will only appear in a few flashback scenes. While this disappointed fans, Vicky’s addition to the cast has created fresh excitement.
A Star Studded Sequel
Dhurandhar 2 boasts an impressive lineup of actors. The film stars Ranveer Singh, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal in key roles. The sequel is largely set in Pakistan and promises to deliver high octane action sequences.
Director Aditya Dhar has been keeping details about the film’s star power under wraps. Sources reveal that the filmmaker has smartly woven in a track from Uri: The Surgical Strike despite the difference in timelines between the two stories. Vicky’s character from the 2019 war drama, which was set in 2016, makes an appearance in this new film.
Building The Dhurandhar Universe
Aditya Dhar has big plans for the franchise. The director aims to build a larger Dhurandhar universe and has carefully designed Vicky’s sequences to lay the foundation for a potential spin off in the future.
It remains unclear whether Vicky and Ranveer’s characters will cross paths in the film. However, sources confirm that Vicky’s cameo includes several action blocks that will leave audiences thrilled.
Interestingly, Vicky shot his portions last year before the first part was even released. This shows how far ahead Aditya Dhar had planned the sequel and its connections to his previous work.
The Director Actor Bond
Vicky Kaushal and Aditya Dhar share a special creative bond. The director considers Vicky one of his favourite actors to work with. After the massive success of Uri: The Surgical Strike, the duo was set to reunite for The Immortal Ashwatthama, an ambitious sci-fi spectacle. However, that project was shelved due to its high budget despite an exciting first look being unveiled.
With Dhurandhar 2, the actor and director finally get another chance to collaborate. Fans are eager to see Major Vihaan Shergill back on screen in this new action packed adventure.
