Audience members who entered theaters for Border 2 were greeted by an unexpected twist. Rather than the eagerly awaited teaser for Dhurandhar 2, they were treated to the trailer of Assi, the latest project from filmmaker Anubhav Sinha, featuring Taapsee Pannu. This surprise led to a flurry of discussions among fans who had anticipated that Border 2 would be the unveiling stage for the sequel’s teaser.
In a bid to clear any misconceptions, Dhurandhar 2’s director, Aditya Dhar, took to social media to confirm that the teaser was never intended to be attached to Border 2. He assured fans that the teaser would be released separately in the near future. While no specific date was provided, Dhar’s update indicated that promotional activities for the film are proceeding as planned.
The clarification followed numerous reports suggesting that the Dhurandhar 2 teaser would debut alongside Border 2, prompting fans to flock to theaters with high hopes. Instead, audiences were treated to the trailer of Assi, a political drama that marks Sinha’s collaboration with Pannu. The choice to showcase Assi’s trailer appears to be a strategic promotional effort, setting the stage for the film’s own upcoming release.
Border 2, which premiered in theaters on January 23, 2026, features a diverse ensemble cast and continues the legacy of the beloved war film franchise. Given its scale, many presumed it would serve as a launchpad for other significant projects, including Dhurandhar 2.
On the other hand, Dhurandhar 2, officially titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, is one of the most anticipated action films of the year. Starring Ranveer Singh, the sequel aims to build upon the success of its predecessor and is scheduled for release on March 19, 2026. By opting for an independent teaser release, the creators seem determined to give the film its own spotlight rather than tying it to another major release.
For now, fans will need to exercise a bit more patience, but this confirmation has only heightened anticipation for Dhurandhar 2 among its followers.
