Ranveer Singh’s ‘12:12’ tease sends fans into frenzy ahead of Dhurandhar 2 teaser drop

Bollywood star Ranveer Singh has once again ignited excitement around Dhurandhar 2 with a cryptic Instagram story that simply read “12:12.”

Posted against a stark black background, the minimalist tease has fans convinced that the first teaser of the highly anticipated sequel will drop at 12:12 PM on February 3, 2026.

The move has set social media abuzz, with fans counting down the hours for what could be the first official glimpse into the next chapter of the blockbuster franchise.

Why ‘12:12’ Matters to Dhurandhar

The “12:12” motif is no coincidence. Time has become a signature element of the Dhurandhar universe. On Ranveer Singh’s 40th birthday in 2025, the first look of the original film was unveiled at exactly 12:12 PM. By repeating the same timestamp, the makers appear to be continuing a symbolic tradition, heightening intrigue and anticipation around the sequel.

The Instagram post arrives just weeks before the film’s theatrical release, making the timing all the more strategic.

A Franchise Riding on Historic Success

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar emerged as one of the biggest commercial successes in recent years. The film crossed major box office milestones, reportedly earning over ₹1000 crore worldwide, and was praised for its gritty realism and geopolitical narrative.

Following its strong digital debut, discussions around Dhurandhar 2 intensified, with fans speculating about deeper character arcs, larger stakes, and an even darker tone.

What to Expect from Dhurandhar 2

Officially titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the sequel is slated for a March 19, 2026 theatrical release. The Central Board of Film Certification has already granted the teaser an “A” certificate, hinting at intense, action-heavy content.

The sequel is expected to delve deeper into Ranveer Singh’s character, Hamza Ali Mazari, while expanding the power dynamics introduced in the first film.
