Recent reports suggest that filmmaker Aditya Dhar is planning something quite unusual with his films Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge. After the huge success of Dhurandhar and its sequel Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the team now wants to release a full-length behind the scenes film in cinemas later in 2026. This is not just a few short clips or interviews. It will be a proper feature film made for theatres. It will show how the action scenes were shot, how visual effects were created, and what really happened on set. Actors like Ranveer Singh and Arjun Rampal, along with the director, have stayed away from media interviews so far. They are saving their first detailed conversations for this film to make it feel special and exclusive.
The makers have also avoided sharing any behind the scenes footage on social media. The idea is to give people a reason to come to theatres instead of watching everything online. After its theatrical run, the film is expected to release on Netflix, where the main movies are already available.
If this works, it could open up a completely new way for films to earn money. Instead of ending with the movie, the process of making the film itself could become another product that people are willing to pay for. It could also start a trend in India where documentaries about films are treated like big events, similar to how concert films work internationally.
Another important part of this project is that it will highlight the technical side of filmmaking. Things like visual effects, which are usually not noticed by audiences, will be shown in detail. There are even reports that some VFX shots for the film were completed just hours before release, which shows how intense the process was.
The Dhurandhar series has already become very popular with audiences. Even though the second film runs for almost four hours, people have still shown strong interest. Fans who liked the intense tone of the film and Ranveer Singh’s powerful performance are likely to be curious about how everything was created.
There is also a sense of excitement building because of the secrecy around the project. This is similar to how Baahubali 2: The Conclusion created buzz with its famous question about Kattappa. In the same way, Dhurandhar has kept audiences waiting and curious by not revealing too much.
In terms of impact, some are comparing Dhurandhar to the Baahubali series. Baahubali changed how big Indian films could be. Dhurandhar may now change how films are extended beyond the main story by turning the making of the film into its own cinematic experience.
The sequel has already crossed some records set by Baahubali 2, including earning more than $22 million in North America. This shows how big the franchise has become globally.
While Baahubali was known for its grand fantasy visuals, Dhurandhar is being praised for its realistic and intense style. This behind the scenes film will likely focus on that effort and show how much work went into achieving it.
In simple terms, the makers, as per various media reports, are betting that fans are not just interested in watching the story but also in understanding how it was made. If audiences respond well, this could change how movies are made and marketed in India going forward.
