The LEAK that's CRAZY! Can Emraan Hashmi actually be Bade Sahab in Dhurandhar The Revenge?

Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge is already one of 2026’s most talked-about releases, and now the internet has found a new reason to lose its calm. A recent update on Letterboxd has sparked wild speculation, with one unexpected name grabbing all the attention. The sequel arrives in cinemas on March 19, and if online chatter is anything to go by, the excitement has just doubled.

Letterboxd Listing Sets Social Media On Fire

Fans scrolling through the film’s Letterboxd page noticed that alongside returning cast members like Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt and others, Emraan Hashmi’s name appeared among the main cast. No character details. No official announcement. Just a name.

That was enough. Within minutes, Reddit threads began exploding with theories. Could he be playing the shadowy “Bade Sahab”? Is this the big twist the makers have been hiding? Screenshots circulated rapidly, and fan pages began dissecting every possible angle.

Of course, Letterboxd is a public platform, much like IMDb, where information can be edited. So this may not be a confirmed reveal. But that hasn’t stopped the speculation storm.

Who Is Bade Sahab And Why Does It Matter So Much?

In the first film, Bade Sahab was only referred to in hushed tones. A powerful figure pulling strings from the shadows. Some viewers linked the name to real-world figures, while others believed the character would be entirely fictional.

The mystery became a huge part of Dhurandhar’s pop culture success. The film didn’t just perform well; it sparked conversations. Audiences debated hidden clues, future plotlines, and casting possibilities long after leaving theatres.

Now imagine Emraan Hashmi stepping into that role. His intense screen presence and ability to play layered, morally grey characters could add a fresh edge to the sequel. Fans online seem thrilled at the possibility, calling it bold and exciting casting.

The Frenzy Before The Big Clash

The teaser already showed Hamza, played by Ranveer Singh, on a revenge mission in Lyari after Rehman Dakait’s death. With Major Iqbal expected to return, the stakes feel bigger this time. If Bade Sahab finally steps into the spotlight, the conflict could reach a whole new level.

Adding to the drama, Dhurandhar: The Revenge will clash at the box office with Yash’s Toxic, setting up one of the biggest cinematic face-offs of the year.

Whether the Letterboxd reveal is real or not, one thing is certain. The buzz around Dhurandhar 2 is unstoppable. And if Emraan Hashmi truly is the man behind Bade Sahab, March 19 just became even more explosive.
