After impressing everyone with her performances on the Television, Kritika Kamra is now all set to rule the digital world. The actress was recently seen in Tandav and impressed everyone with her performance in it, and now, she is all set to star in one more web series titled Dongri To Dubai.
According to a report in Mid-day, Angira Dhar was supposed to play the role of Haseena Parkar in the web series, but her dates are clashing with Ajay Devgn’s Mayday, and that’s why she had to opt of the project. And now, Kritika will play the role.
A source told the tabloid, “Angira has to report to the set of Ajay Devgn’s directorial venture Mayday now. Since the makers of Dongri to Dubai required the same dates, the actor, after much deliberation, decided to let go of the series.”
“After a fresh set of auditions, the makers zeroed in on Kritika. It’s an important character that influences the proceedings, and demands a strong performer,” the source added.
The web series is based on Hussain Zaidi’s book Dongri To Dubai, and Avinash Tiwary will be seen playing the role of Dawood Ibrahim in it. The shooting of the series had kickstarted in early 2020, but due to the pandemic it was put on a hold, and recently it was resumed.
It is produce by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under their banner Excel Entertainment, and it is being directed by Shujaat Saudagar.

The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
