Dhurandhar The Revenge began its theatrical run on March 19, 2026, following paid previews a day earlier. As the Aditya Dhar directorial continues to receive positive early reactions, casting director Mukesh Chhabra has shared a note praising the filmmaker’s dedication and vision.

Taking to social media, Chhabra revealed that Dhar was still working on the film at 2:30 am on the day of release. He described this level of commitment as rare and inspiring. While keeping his comments brief about the film itself, Chhabra said he had already watched it twice and expressed confidence that it would exceed expectations and make a strong impact.

This morning at 2:30 a.m., he was still working giving everything to the film till the very last moment. That kind of dedication is rare, and honestly, it’s inspiring.

In a separate post, Chhabra wrote a longer note reflecting on his experience of working with Dhar. He described the filmmaker as a “genius” and spoke about the attention to detail, emotional depth and conviction that went into making Dhurandhar and its sequel.

Chhabra also highlighted Dhar’s approach to collaboration, noting the respect and warmth he extends to people he works with. He said that while audiences are now recognising Dhar’s work, there is much more to come from the filmmaker. “I just want to say this – Aditya, you are the real hero. Thank you for making me a part of your vision. And I know this is just the beginning. People only see 50% of what you’re capable of.” He continued, “What you’ve done with Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar The Revenge, people will be talking about these films for many, many years,” read an excerpt of his note.

Referring to their time on the project, Chhabra recalled Dhar’s confidence during production and said that the final result reflects that belief. He added that the impact of Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar The Revenge will be discussed for years.
