Dhurandhar 2 mystery: Who is ‘Bade Sahab’? Aditya Dhar appeals fans not to spoil it

As Aditya Dhar’s much-awaited Dhurandhar: The Revenge heads for its theatrical release on Thursday, the director has urged fans to avoid sharing spoilers so that everyone can enjoy the film as intended.

One question, however, continues to dominate conversations — who exactly is ‘Bade Sahab’?

Speculation is running high on social media, with names like Salman Khan and Emraan Hashmi being widely discussed. Still, the film keeps the mystery tightly under wraps, with the actual reveal set to unfold only on the big screen.


Ahead of the release, Dhar shared an emotional note on Instagram, expressing gratitude to fans for the overwhelming love shown to the first film. He reflected on how audiences didn’t just watch Dhurandhar, but engaged with it deeply — revisiting scenes, debating moments, and discovering layers even he hadn’t anticipated.

Speaking about the sequel, Dhar said the team aimed to deliver something unexpected. He emphasised their effort to create an experience that feels raw, emotional, and surprising, even if achieving that wasn’t easy.

He also encouraged viewers to watch the film in theatres to fully absorb its impact, highlighting the shared experience of watching it together in a dark auditorium.

Ending his note, the filmmaker made a sincere appeal: avoid revealing key plot points after watching the movie, so others can experience the story with fresh eyes.

What users are saying on X

While discussions around ‘Bade Sahab’ are trending online, many fans are choosing not to reveal details publicly to preserve the suspense.

One user wrote that the reveal is completely unexpected and praised Dhar’s attention to detail, without giving anything away. Another suggested that the twist may not sit well with everyone, hinting at a possible political angle. A third post teased that the real surprise goes beyond just ‘Bade Sahab’, calling the film’s narrative bold and layered.

For those hoping to keep the experience spoiler-free, it might be wise to stay away from X until after watching the film.
