Aditya Dhar’s blockbuster Dhurandhar has been hitting milestones with the recent one being 14 wins at the Screen Awards 2026. Amid the popularity of the Ranveer Singh’s spy-thriller, Bollywood veteran Paresh Rawal said how he wished to be part of the Dhurandhar franchise. The actor was part of Aditya’s another action drama, Uri: The Surgical Strike.
Speaking to PTI, Paresh Rawal said, “Dekhi, Dhurandhar 1 and 2 dekhi, part 1 do baar dekhi, dusri ek baar dekhi, vapas dekhne jaana hai. Mujhe hona chahiye tha ismein (I have watched both parts, watched part 1 twice and part 2 once, and I want to watch it again. I should have been a part of the film).”
The actor took on the role of NSA Govind Bhardwaj in Uri and his character was inspired by Ajit Doval. In Dhurandhar, the character Ajay Sanyal, played by R Madhavan has been loosely based on Doval. Paresh Rawal mentioned that it is not just a film but a saga. He noted, “I liked Dhurandhar a lot; it’s not just a film but a saga. For the first time, I felt I should have been part of it. Zindagi main pehli baar mujhe laga main hota ismein toh maza aata (For the first time in my life, I felt that it would have been fun if I had been in it).”
After 18 days of successful run, the Ranveer Singh starrer pushed its worldwide earnings past the Rs 1,600 crore mark. Its domestic net collection, on the other hand, crossed the Rs 1,000 crore milestone. With this, the movie has been the fastest to reach the feat, second only to Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 (2024), according to Sacnilk. The Dhurandhar sequal has also surpassed the record previously made by SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2, which collected Rs 1,030.40 crore (net) in a month.
