Dhurandhar The Revenge Actor Reveals He Didn’t Know His Character’s Identity The actor portraying Bade Sahab in Dhurandhar: The Revenge shared that he was initially unaware of his character’s true identity. Danish Iqbal, who plays the role, revealed during an interview with Zoom that director Aditya Dhar kept his character’s background secret for much of the production. Iqbal explained that he was surprised when the film’s release finally unveiled that his character, Bade Sahab, is based on real-life gangster Dawood Ibrahim. Iqbal described the experience of filming the role, noting that he was aware he was portraying Dawood Ibrahim but remained uncertain about the character’s public moniker. “I was playing Dawood; I was pretty much aware of it,” he said. “But Dawood is Bade Sahab, even I was not 100% confident.” He added that during filming, he was often addressed as “Dawood bhai” or “Sahab” by others, but no one explicitly confirmed his character’s identity to him. The actor, known for his work in theater and television, including his role as Dilshad Mirza in Maharani Season 2, emphasized that the secrecy around his character added to the challenge of the role. “This Bade Sahab discussion was never there,” he said. “I mean, till about a couple of months ago, I was also not aware that I was playing Bade Sahab. I was in doubt.” Dhurandhar: The Revenge, released on March 19, is the sequel to the 2025 film Dhurandhar, which became a box office hit despite mixed critical reviews. The original film, directed by Aditya Dhar, featured Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, and Sanjay Dutt, and grossed ₹1,300 crore globally. The sequel, which has already crossed ₹100 crore in its opening day, continues the story of Ranveer’s character, Hamza, as he navigates the complexities of power and loyalty in Lyari.#aditya_dhar #dhurandhar_the_revenge #lyari #danish_iqbal #dawood_ibrahim
