Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh marked his 40th birthday on 6 July by unveiling the first look and teaser of “Dhurandhar,” his first leading role since 2023. In a brief clip released online, Singh appears in a long-haired, combat-ready avatar, signalling what he called an “inferno” of action. Directed by Aditya Dhar, best known for the 2019 military drama “Uri: The Surgical Strike,” the film follows India’s first covert operative, tracing missions from the 1970s to the present. The ensemble cast includes Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Yami Gautam. Producers have set a nationwide theatrical release for 5 December 2025, positioning the action thriller against Prabhas’s “The Raja Saab.” Singh had wiped his social-media feeds a day earlier, a move industry watchers describe as part of the promotional rollout.
