The portrayal of Rehman Dakait in the upcoming film Dhurandhar 2 has generated considerable buzz, especially with Tabu cast in the role. This casting decision has sparked discussions among fans and critics alike, with many questioning if she is the perfect fit for Dakait’s character.
Previously, Akshaye Khanna played Rehman Dakait in the original film, Dhurandhar. His performance was notable, and he has since continued to evolve as an actor, starting 2025 with a negative role in Chhaava and concluding the year with this significant character.
As anticipation builds for Dhurandhar 2, the film has already achieved impressive ticket sales, with over 237,323 tickets sold for its premiere shows in India alone. This early success highlights the film’s potential impact on the box office.
The film’s advance bookings have grossed approximately ₹13.75 crore domestically, showcasing strong interest from audiences. Tickets are priced variably, with the highest at ₹2900 in Mumbai and the lowest at ₹59 in Chennai, catering to a wide range of viewers.
Internationally, Dhurandhar 2 has also made its mark, selling 38,545 tickets in the USA, contributing to a global total of over 257,000 tickets sold for its premiere shows.
In addition to the excitement surrounding the film, Akshaye Khanna’s journey has been acknowledged by his mentor, Anup Soni, who expressed pride in Khanna’s growth as an actor, stating, “I taught acting to Akshaye Khanna…extremely happy watching his journey; ALWAYS admired his clarity of thought.”
As the release date approaches on March 19, 2026, the film’s marketing and audience engagement strategies will be closely monitored. The strong advance ticket sales indicate a promising start, but the ultimate reception will depend on the film’s content and performances.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional casting or plot developments that may arise as the release date nears. Fans and industry watchers alike are eager to see how the film unfolds and how Rehman Dakait’s character is brought to life by Tabu.
