Speculation around a possible Salman Khan cameo in Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has grabbed attention after a set of viral on-set photos began circulating online. The buzz started soon after the makers released the teaser of the Ranveer Singh-led espionage thriller, which is scheduled to hit theatres in March 2026. While the images created excitement, the truth behind them appears far less dramatic.
Teaser Sets the Tone for a Darker Story
The recently released teaser of Dhurandhar 2 gives a deeper look into the past of Ranveer Singh’s character, Hamza Ali Mazar. The film explores his early life before he became an Indian spy. Set largely in Lyari, the teaser shows Hamza’s rise to power and the tough choices that shape his ruthless personality.
The teaser ends with Ranveer delivering a powerful dialogue, clearly setting a strong nationalist and espionage-driven tone. This darker origin story has raised curiosity about new characters and surprise appearances in the sequel.
Viral Photos Trigger Salman Khan Cameo Rumours
Soon after the teaser launch, photos allegedly showing Salman Khan on a film set started doing the rounds on Instagram. In the images, he appears dressed in a formal suit, leading to claims that he would be seen as a mysterious character named “Bade Sahab” in Dhurandhar 2.
The idea of Salman Khan appearing in the film, even briefly, quickly caught attention. Many believed he could be playing a key antagonist or a powerful figure hinted at in the first part of the franchise.
Fact Check: Are the Photos Genuine?
A closer look at the viral images raises serious doubts about their authenticity. The Instagram account that first shared the photos belongs to an AI artist known for creating highly realistic, artificial intelligence-generated visuals.

Several inconsistencies were noticed in the pictures, and no official confirmation has come from the film’s makers or Salman Khan’s team. As of now, there is no solid proof that Salman Khan is part of Dhurandhar 2 in any capacity.
Mystery Around ‘Bade Sahab’ Continues
The character of Bade Sahab has remained a big question mark since the first Dhurandhar. Though the name was mentioned multiple times, the character never appeared on screen, adding to the suspense.
With the sequel promising to answer unanswered questions, many are eager to know who will finally portray Bade Sahab. However, the makers have chosen to stay silent, keeping the mystery alive ahead of the release.
Cast, Crew and Release Details of Dhurandhar 2
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge features a strong ensemble cast led by Ranveer Singh. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjun, and Akshaye Khanna. Khanna, whose character died in the first film, is expected to appear through flashback scenes.
The film is set to release in theatres on March 19, 2026. It will show Hamza Ali Mazar’s complete takeover of Lyari after Rehman Dakait’s death, while also tracing his journey before joining India’s intelligence system.
For now, Salman Khan’s cameo remains unconfirmed. The viral photos appear to be AI-generated, and fans will have to wait for an official announcement to know the truth.
