Ranveer Singh’s Hamza, Akshaye Khanna’s villainy, and an explosive behind-the-scenes truth put Dhurandhar back in headlines
When a film roars at the box office, there’s always a handful of scenes that stay with the audience forever. But when those scenes shake even the actors performing them, you know there’s something deeper happening behind the camera. That’s exactly the case with Dhurandhar, Aditya Dhar’s explosive spy thriller, starring Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, and R. Madhavan — a film that has already crossed ₹150 crore and continues ruling conversations online.
And now the internet is buzzing again — this time because Arjun Rampal has opened up about the intense, emotionally disturbing 26/11 sequence that has become one of the most talked-about moments in the movie.

Arjun Rampal Opens Up: “Most Difficult Scene of My Life”
In the film, Ranveer Singh’s character Hamza Ali Mazari watches in silent horror as Major Iqbal (Arjun Rampal), Rehman Dakait (Akshaye Khanna), and other Pakistani intelligence officers celebrate the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack. The moment is chilling — not just because of the cold-blooded celebration happening on screen, but because Ranveer’s expression of internal collapse feels painfully real.
When a fan asked Arjun on Instagram how he felt shooting that scene, the actor didn’t sugarcoat anything. His reply was straight from the gut:
“Most difficult scene of my life.”
That one line was enough to send fans into a storm. The actor’s response confirmed what every viewer sensed — that the scene wasn’t just acting; it was emotionally suffocating even for the people portraying those characters.
One fan wrote, “The whole theatre went silent… my father, who never likes any movie, had a tear.”
Another said the scene was “painfully amazing” and “unforgettable.”
Arjun Rampal’s Viral Appreciation Post for the Dhurandhar Team
Just hours before the comment exploded across fan pages, Arjun Rampal had already posted a heartfelt tribute to the film’s cast and crew on Instagram.
And trust us — it’s the kind of post that makes you pause, read twice, and then smile.
He praised Akshaye Khanna first — no surprises there, considering Akshaye’s portrayal of the brutal, merciless Rehman Dakait has become the talk of the nation.
Arjun wrote:
“Akshaye Khanna, you owned it. Ruled it. Hit it out of the park.”
Next came R. Madhavan, whom he called a “pure genius”, expressing his desire to share screen space with him one day — something that fans would absolutely love to witness.
For Sanjay Dutt, Arjun had simple—yet heartfelt—words:
“You know I love you. Big jappi.”
And finally, he turned to Ranveer Singh, the man behind Hamza — the morally torn spy who becomes the emotional heartbeat of Dhurandhar.
Arjun’s words for Ranveer were powerful:
“Hamza… it was a beautiful journey to watch your focus, determination, mad methods… You were unabashed, fearless and endearing.”
He even cheekily added:
“Thank you for the ice baths. The last dance belongs to me.”
Fans instantly knew — this is a brotherhood forged through fire.

Why the 26/11 Scene Stands Out in Dhurandhar
The impact of the sequence stems from the disturbing contrast:
While real-life Indians remember 26/11 as one of the darkest days in the country’s history, the film’s portrayal shows extremists celebrating it — a creative choice meant to highlight the cold brutality of espionage warfare.
Ranveer Singh’s stillness, Arjun Rampal’s stone-cold performance, and Akshaye Khanna’s ruthless smirk combine to create a moment that lingers long after you leave the theatre.
Inside sources say the scene required multiple takes — but not because of performance issues. It was because the intensity kept overwhelming the cast and crew.
One assistant director reportedly described the atmosphere as “heavy, dark, and emotionally numbing.”
No wonder Arjun called it the most difficult scene of his entire career.
Dhurandhar: A Monster Hit That Shows No Signs of Slowing Down
Box office trackers have confirmed that Dhurandhar has already crossed ₹150 crore worldwide, and the film continues to draw in premium multiplex audiences, especially in metros like Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Bangalore.
There’s a buzz within the industry that Dhurandhar might emerge as one of the biggest spy hits of the decade.
A few reasons why the film is trending nonstop:
- Akshaye Khanna’s viral Fa9la entry dance
- Ranveer Singh’s layered, haunting performance
- Aditya Dhar’s fierce, uncompromising direction
- Arjun Rampal’s gritty portrayal of a Pakistani military officer
- R. Madhavan’s standout presence despite limited screentime
- The film’s real-world relevance and emotional weight
Even rival production houses are quietly admitting that Dhar has revived the spy-thriller genre in a way nobody expected.
Industry Buzz: Is Dhurandhar 2 Going Bigger, Bolder, Darker?
With the sequel already announced for 2026, anticipation is sky-high.
Rumour mills suggest:
- The second film will explore Hamza’s psychological decline.
- Arjun Rampal’s Major Iqbal might get an expanded arc.
- Akshaye Khanna’s character could return through flashbacks or classified footage.
- R. Madhavan’s IB storyline will reportedly take centre-stage.
If the first film sparked conversations, the sequel is poised to ignite debates.
Dhurandhar Is More Than a Spy Film — It’s a Cultural Moment
While most commercial films create noise for a weekend, Dhurandhar has created an impact — one that makes actors emotional, fans speechless, and theatres erupt in pin-drop silence during the most unsettling sequences.
Arjun Rampal’s revelation only proves what the country already sensed:
This movie wasn’t just “shot” — it was felt. By the team. By the audience. By everyone who remembers 26/11.
And in the middle of all this chatter, it’s clear:
Dhurandhar is not just ruling the theatres — it’s ruling the nation’s conversations.
