The buzz around Ranveer Singh’s espionage thriller Dhurandhar has intensified after fans spotted a hidden Easter egg in the film’s closing scene. The name “Bade Sahab” appears in protagonist Hamza Ali Mazari’s secret hitlist, sparking widespread speculation about the identity of this shadowy figure and his role in the sequel.
In the final moments of Dhurandhar, Hamza, played by Ranveer Singh, crosses out the name of Rehman Dakait (Akshaye Khanna) after eliminating him. The diary page, however, reveals several other names, with “Bade Sahab” standing out as the most intriguing. Though the reference is brief, audiences have interpreted it as a deliberate setup for Dhurandhar 2.
Director Aditya Dhar has remained tight-lipped, but industry chatter suggests that Bade Sahab could represent a dreaded underworld mastermind, possibly inspired by real-life figures. Some reports hint at connections to Dawood Ibrahim, while others argue that the character will be entirely fictional, designed to expand the film’s universe.
Theories have also linked Dhurandhar to Dhar’s earlier hit Uri: The Surgical Strike, with fans speculating that Bade Sahab may tie the two films together through a shared intelligence narrative. Online discussions have been rife with guesses about which actor might portray the role, with names like Arjun Rampal and other senior stars being floated.
The sequel, already confirmed by the makers, is scheduled to release on March 19, 2026. Expectations are high that Bade Sahab will be unveiled as Hamza’s most formidable target yet, raising the stakes in the ongoing battle against terror networks and mafia politics in Karachi’s Lyari district.
With Dhurandhar grossing over ₹300 crore worldwide and dominating social media trends, the mystery of Bade Sahab has become a central talking point among fans. The character’s eventual reveal is expected to shape the narrative of the sequel and cement Ranveer Singh’s role as a leading face of action‑espionage cinema.
