The teaser of Ranveer Singh’s much-anticipated action thriller Dhurandhar was unveiled yesterday and has garnered an overwhelmingly positive response from audiences. Viewers praised Ranveer’s rugged, muscular look and the high-octane visuals, amplified by a foot-tapping Punjabi track that sets the tone for a gripping cinematic experience.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, best known for Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dhurandhar boasts an impressive ensemble cast including R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and Akshaye Khanna. Amid these powerhouse performers, all eyes are also on young actress Sara Arjun, who plays the female lead opposite Ranveer.
For those unfamiliar, Sara Arjun first won hearts as the child actress in Deiva Thirumagal (released as Nanna in Telugu) and later portrayed the younger version of Aishwarya Rai in Ponniyin Selvan. Now 20, Sara is set to make her full-fledged Bollywood debut, sharing screen space with the 40-year-old Ranveer Singh — a casting choice that initially sparked debate on social media due to the significant age gap.
However, insiders suggest that Sara’s role may not be a conventional romantic lead. According to some sources, Dhurandhar is an espionage drama where Ranveer plays a secret agent who manipulates a suspected female terrorist, played by Sara. If true, this narrative could reframe the casting choice, shifting it from romantic tension to psychological intrigue.
Regardless of the ongoing debate, Dhurandhar marks a crucial turning point for Sara Arjun. In an industry where breaking through is a daunting task — especially for non-star kids — landing a central role in a big-budget film alongside Ranveer Singh could be a game-changer for the young actress.
Produced on a grand scale and aiming for a pan-India appeal, Dhurandhar is slated for a worldwide release on December 5, 2025.
