Trivia

• The film's title 'Dhurandhar' is a Sanskrit word meaning 'one who holds a bow', hinting at the protagonist's warrior-like mission.
• Director Aditya Dhar reportedly spent over a year researching the real-life connections between intelligence agencies and criminal syndicates in the region.
• This is actor Vicky Kaushal's third collaboration with director Aditya Dhar, following 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' and the upcoming 'Ashwatthama'.
• Parts of the film were secretly shot in locations in the Middle East and Southeast Asia to double for Karachi, due to geopolitical constraints.
• The production design team studied declassified documents and journalistic reports to recreate the gritty aesthetic of Karachi's underworld.
• The script underwent multiple revisions with input from former intelligence officers to ensure a realistic portrayal of espionage tactics.
• Unlike many spy thrillers, the film avoids using a background score during key action sequences to heighten the raw, tense atmosphere.
