Can We Expect Dhurandhar 3? Jyoti Deshpande Hints There’s Still a Surprise in Store
Five months after the first chapter and nearly two months after the second, Ranveer Singh’s mammoth spy saga Dhurandhar still refuses to leave the conversation. The two‑part epic directed by Aditya Dhar, produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, and starring Ranveer, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun—has reportedly crossed a staggering ₹3,000 crore worldwide and is being called one of the biggest box‑office game‑changers in Indian cinema.
Now, fans are asking: Is there a Dhurandhar 3 on the way?
“We’re Not Done With Dhurandhar Yet”
The question took a new turn when Jyoti Deshpande, head of Jio Studios and co‑producer of the franchise, spoke to Bollywood Hungama. In a carefully worded tease, she said, “We’re not done with Dhurandhar yet. We’ll hopefully have a surprise for the audience later this year. There’s something up our sleeves.”
Her statement has been interpreted in two ways—either a third theatrical film is quietly being planned, or the team is preparing a different kind of “surprise” built around the same universe. Industry insiders point out that the film’s single narrative has already been split into two parts (Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge), so a third chapter may not be a simple repeat‑the‑plot sequel but something more layered maybe a spin‑off, a new chapter, or even an OTT‑centric project.
What the Rumours Are Saying
Long before Deshpande’s comment, social media had already gone wild. A viral image and a few posts claimed “Dhurandhar 3: The Final Chapter” with a tentative release date of June 14, 2026, circulating widely across platforms. Fact‑checkers later pointed out that the slate and poster appeared to be fan‑made or AI‑generated, with no official confirmation from the makers.
Even without proof of a specific June 14 release, the excitement reflects how emotionally invested audiences are. Many fans are theorising that a third part could explore backstory arcs, different characters from the spy network, or a fresh chapter in the same fictional universe, rather than just following the same hero endlessly
A More Cautious Voice: Rakesh Bedi
Actor Rakesh Bedi, who played a key role in both parts as Jameel Jamali (the twist‑revealed Indian spy operating in Pakistan), has taken a more measured stance. In an interview with Zoom, he said, “I don’t think a third part will happen.”
But he also added that Dhurandhar is a “franchise,” which means stories can continue with new actors, new missions, and new timelines, even if the current chapter reaches a natural endpoint. Bedi noted that the existing plot wraps up with the spy returning to his nation, suggesting that the makers may prefer standalone or semi‑standalone stories going forward rather than a straight‑line trilogy.
Audience Losing the “Casuality” Factor
Rakesh Bedi also made an interesting observation about how viewer attitudes have changed after Part 1’s success. “People were not going to watch the second part casually,” he said. “They were keen to know what happens next.”
That hunger to know “what happens in Part 3?” now sits at the centre of the conversation. The fact that Part 1 and Part 2 have already been positioned as one big story split into two blocks makes audiences extra sensitive to even the slightest hint of continuation.
So, Is Dhurandhar 3 Coming Soon?
Right now, the honest answer is: no official announcement yet. There is no confirmed title, cast, or release date for Dhurandhar 3 from the makers, and the viral June 14 slate is being treated as unofficial.But Jyoti Deshpande’s line—“We’re not done with Dhurandhar yet” and the franchise’s massive financial success make it clear that this is not a story likely to vanish anytime soon. Whether that “surprise” later this year turns out to be a full‑blown third film, a spin‑off, or an OTT‑centric expansion, fans of the series can bank on one thing: the Dhurandhar saga is anything but over.
