Finnish President Alexander Stubb says he watched Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar', looks forward to sequel

Finnish President Alexander Stubb reveals he watched Ranveer Singh's spy film Dhurandhar on his son's recommendation and looks forward to the sequel.

"Happy to fight against terrorism and I look forward to the sequel. - Alexander Stubb"

Mumbai, March 8

In what can be described as a rare crossover between global politics and Indian cinema, Finnish President Alexander Stubb has expressed admiration for Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar'.

Speaking to ANI, Stubb revealed having watched the film on his son's recommendation.

"Before I came to India, my son suggested that I should watch Dhurandhar and I did. I was one part of the narrative of that film. Happy to fight against terrorism and I look forward to the sequel," he said.

The high words of praise come at a time when the makers have dropped the trailer for 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2) on Saturday.

Running 3 minutes and 25 seconds, the trailer signals a darker and more intense continuation of undercover agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi's mission.

Ranveer Singh reprises his role as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, who in the sequel is fully embedded in the criminal underworld under the alias Hamza Ali Mazari.

The footage suggests that following the death of gangster Rehman Dakait, played in the first film by Akshaye Khanna, Hamza has risen to power in Lyari, Karachi, emerging as "Lyari ka Badshah."

While the first film focused on Rangi's personal infiltration into a crime network, the sequel shifts toward a broader national security threat. The trailer shows Hamza manoeuvring through the ranks of a terror syndicate in an attempt to dismantle it from within, with Major Iqbal, portrayed by Arjun Rampal, emerging as a central target of the mission.

Sanjay Dutt appears as the tough law enforcement officer SP Chaudhary Aslam, while R Madhavan plays Ajay Sanyal.

Aditya Dhar's 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on March 19, 2026. The film will open during the festive window of Eid, Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, positioning it for a major box-office debut.

In line with its pan-India ambitions, the spy action film will release in multiple languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Respectfully, while this is positive PR, I hope our filmmakers also focus on telling more original stories. The first Dhurandhar was good, but the sequel seems like a typical "infiltrate the syndicate" plot. Still, looking forward to it!

His son recommended it? That's the real story! Our youth are cultural ambassadors. The trailer looks fire, and releasing on Eid/Gudi Padwa is a smart move. Blockbuster loading!

Interesting crossover. It's great to see Indian soft power at work. The multi-language release strategy is also very savvy for tapping into the diverse domestic market.

"Happy to fight against terrorism" – President Stubb said it perfectly. These films, while entertainment, also show the real sacrifices made by our agencies. Jai Hind!

March 2026 is so far away! The wait is going to be tough. The cast is stellar though – Ranveer, Sanjay Dutt, Madhavan... Aditya Dhar knows how to make a solid action film.
