There Is No Truth in Dhurandhar Offer Rumours, Says Nagarjuna

Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna’s spy thriller Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, made a huge impact at the box office last year, becoming the highest-grossing film and biggest blockbuster of the year. Audience expectations have skyrocketed with the sequel, Dhurandhar Revenge, which is scheduled to be released on March 19, 2026.

Amid the growing excitement, rumors emerged that director Aditya Dhar had initially considered King Nagarjuna for the role played by Akshaye Khanna. Reports claimed that Nagarjuna could not take up the project due to his commitments to Rajinikanth’s Coolie and Dhanush’s Kuberaa.

These rumors sparked controversy among fans and moviegoers; Many feel that Nagarjuna may have missed an important opportunity by opting out of Dhurandhar and opting for supporting roles in other projects.

Putting an end to speculations, Nagarjuna clarified the issue by interacting with the media. He stated that there is absolutely no truth in the reports that he was approached for the role of Akshaye Khanna. He also praised Dhurandhar and praised Akshaye Khanna’s performance in the film.

The actor also expressed his admiration for director Aditya Dhar’s filmmaking, saying that he is a big fan of Uri. He added that he is looking forward to watching Dhurandhar Revenge.

Of late, Nagarjuna has been selective in his choices and has been taking on strong character-driven roles. He played a CBI officer in Kuberaa and followed this up with a dark, intense character in Coolie. The veteran star is now all set to return as a full-fledged lead in his upcoming breakthrough film King 100.
