The highly anticipated trailer launch of Ranveer Singh’s action thriller Dhurandhar took place in Mumbai today, gathering key cast members including R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and debutant Sara Arjun. However, the most talked-about aspect of the event was the noticeable absence of senior actors Sanjay Dutt and Akshaye Khanna, both of whom play crucial roles in this spy thriller.

Visa Joke Leads to Clarification

During the launch event, Arjun Rampal humorously addressed the actors’ absence, joking to the media that Sanjay Dutt and Akshaye Khanna couldn’t attend due to visa delays. “They didn’t get their visas on time,” Arjun quipped, adding that both actors were looking forward to joining the celebrations. His lighthearted comment immediately grabbed headlines, prompting the film’s management team to step in with the actual explanation. The team quickly clarified that Arjun was merely joking, and the real reason behind their absence was prior shooting commitments for other projects.

Trailer Creates Buzz Despite Absences

Despite the missing cast members, the launch event maintained its energy, with Ranveer Singh leading the charge as fans celebrated the release of the action-packed trailer. The footage showcased high-octane action sequences, intense drama, and powerful dialogue delivery, drawing praise from attendees. Arjun Rampal highlighted the impactful performances delivered by both Dutt and Khanna in the film.
