Dhurandhar Movie Based on Pakistan’s Lyari Gang War
The Bollywood film “Dhurandhar” is an action-thriller spy film that will be released on December 5, 2025. It is directed, as well as co-produced by Aditya Dhar, and stars Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun. The film is a combination of espionage and gang wars in Pakistan.

The Dhurandhar trailer depicts Ranveer Singh as a RAW agent on a secret mission in Lyari, Karachi. R. Madhavan stars Ajay Sanyal, a character based on the National Security Advisor of India Ajit Doval. Akshaye Khanna plays the role of Rehman Dakait, a gang leader in Lyari. Sanjay Dutt plays SP Chaudhary Aslam, the Pakistani counter-terror officer.

Sara Arjun plays a key female role. Some online discussions on Dhurandhar Reddit speculate her character has political links due to background images of Benazir Bhutto, but she is not playing Bhutto’s daughter. The teaser uses these visuals for setting authenticity, not biography.

The Pakistani viewers complained of the showing, terming the depiction as misleading. The users of Dhurandhar Reddit speculate of whether the movie overstates the role of Lyari in terrorism or adheres to the spy action motif.
