After the roaring success of Ek Villain (2014), filmmaker Mohit Suri is presently busy working on its sequel titled Ek Villain Returns. While Ek Villain had Shraddha Kapoor, Sidharth Malhotra, and Riteish Deshmukh on the primary cast, the sequel features John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Disha Patani, and Tara Sutaria in lead roles.
Ek Villain Returns has been creating great noise ever since its official announcement last year, and the audience is looking forward to the film with bated breath. The action-thriller went before cameras in March, but the production had to be stopped due to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
With lockdown restrictions slowly beginning to lift across India and particularly in the city of Mumbai, the makers of the much-awaited film are back to the sets to resume filming. While the first schedule was shot with John Abraham and Disha Patani, the second schedule took place in Goa with Arjun Kapoor and Tara Sutaria. Kapoor and Sutaria return to the sets for the third schedule as well.
Both actors resumed filming Ek Villain Returns in Mumbai yesterday. A picture from the sets was shared by the cast and crew on social media. In the picture, we can see director Mohit Suri directing a shot while maintaining all safety precautions on the sets. The makers are following all coronavirus related protocols on the sets and have also created a bubble to ensure there is no lapse in the safety of the cast and crew.
Ek Villain Returns is being jointly produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series Films and Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Motion Pictures. Kapoor produced its predecessor also. The film is set to hit theatres in 2022.

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.
