Vicky Kaushal To Join Dhurandhar Universe

According to a media report, actor Vicky Kaushal is set to be a part of ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’. While Akshaye Khanna will reportedly appear only in flashback sequences, Vicky Kaushal will make a special cameo in the film. The report suggests that Vicky will reprise his iconic role of Major Vihaan Shergill from Uri: The Surgical Strike, joining an ensemble cast that already includes Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal.

Though Aditya Dhar has remained tight-lipped about the casting, sources claim that the director is quietly building a Dhurandhar Universe. Despite Dhurandhar and Uri having different storylines, Aditya Dhar has reportedly woven a narrative thread from Uri into Dhurandhar 2. This move is being seen as a smart cinematic crossover, expanding the scope of the franchise and raising excitement among fans of both films.

Sources also reveal that it is not yet confirmed whether Ranveer Singh and Vicky Kaushal will share screen space, but Vicky’s presence in the film is certain. His cameo includes high-octane action scenes, and interestingly, he completed shooting his portion last year, even before the release of Dhurandhar in 2025. In the first part, Akshaye Khanna’s character dies, but he will still appear in ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ through select flashback scenes. The actor has already completed shooting his portions for the sequel.
