Dhurandhar actors reveals what Aditya Dhar told them to bring out the tears during Rehman Baloch death scene: ‘How would you feel when…’

The Dhurandhar, headlined by Ranveer Singh and helmed by Aditya Dhar, emerged as one of the most successful films of 2025, earning widespread acclaim. Among its many standout performances, Akshaye Khanna drew significant attention for his powerful depiction of the character Rehman Dakait. As the sequel, Dhurandhar 2, arrives in theatres on March 19, actors Rajat Arora and Vikramm Bhambri reflected on their experience filming one of the most emotionally charged moments from the original film—the death of Rehman Dakait.

While speaking about the scene, Rajat described the level of preparation required to bring authenticity to such an intense sequence. He explained that he had approached the director with a concern about performing emotional expressions while wearing contact lenses, as it made crying more difficult. However, the guidance he received from Aditya Dhar helped shape his performance. The director asked the actors to imagine a deeply personal loss, likening Rehman Dakait to a father figure within the gang. This perspective encouraged them to channel genuine grief, as though they were mourning the loss of someone extremely close."So, how would you feel when your father dies? You have to bring the same feelings and emotions. Cry as your father has died.." he recalled.

Rajat further shared that the director wanted every individual present in the frame to reflect the same depth of sorrow. The intention was to ensure that each character conveyed the emotional weight of losing a loved one. This collective effort resulted in a scene where even supporting actors left a strong impression, something audiences clearly appreciated.


Meanwhile, the sequel has already generated significant buzz. According to early trade reports, Dhurandhar 2 has witnessed an impressive response ahead of its release, particularly during the Eid holiday period. Advance ticket sales have crossed ₹86.80 crore, with more than 1.7 million tickets sold so far. Paid preview screenings are also set to begin, further boosting anticipation.

The original film had set remarkable benchmarks, earning ₹890 crore within India and surpassing ₹1300 crore globally. Backed by B62 Studios and Jio Studios, the sequel reunites a strong ensemble cast, including Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun, all returning to continue the story.
