Neo-noir action thriller Kaminey was one of the most critically successful movies of 2009. Starring Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra in principal roles, Kaminey was helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj. Now, eleven years after the release of the film, buzz has it that Bhardwaj is planning to roll out a sequel to it.
According to reports, Sara Ali Khan is in talks to play the female lead opposite Shahid Kapoor in Kaminey 2. The actress was recently spotted at the office of Vishal Bhardwaj, which led to these rumours. A source disclosed that the newcomer had a serious conversation with the filmmaker. Also, the makers of Kaminey 2 were looking for an actress to star alongside Shahid Kapoor and Khan fitted the bill perfectly.
“They were zeroing on an actress alongside Shahid Kapoor for Kaminey 2, the second installment of the critically acclaimed film, and Sara has become an obvious choice for the project. If everything works out fine, an official announcement about the same will hopefully be made soon. After the success of her two films Kedarnath (2018) and Simmba (2018), Sara was gearing up for Coolie No. 1 and Love Aaj Kal 2, and now it is just a matter of time that Sara will announce that she will be seen with Sasha,” the source said.
Meanwhile, Sara Ali Khan is busy promoting her forthcoming film Love Aaj Kal 2. It stars her opposite rising Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan. Helmed by master storyteller Imtiaz Ali, the romantic film is scheduled to enter theatres on 14th February 2020. Shahid Kapoor, on the other hand, is shooting for his next film Jersey. It is an official remake of superhit Telugu film of the same name, which hit the marquee last year.
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.
Rapper Hanumankind makes his official Bollywood début with a fierce verse.
Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
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.
