Internet not excited about Vicky Kaushal's rumoured cameo in Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2: ‘This should never happen’

AS Dhurandhar 2 inches finisher to its give up, expectation among fans continues to surge. With viewers thirstily awaiting the teaser and trailer, fresh reports about a possible cameo of Vicky Kaushal surfaced online. According to recent buzz, Vicky may make a special appearance in the sequel, a development that has failed to excite many fans.Vicky Kaushal reportedly making a cameo in Dhurandhar 2On Wednesday, Mid-Day reported that Vicky Kaushal will be making a cameo in Dhurandhar 2. A source told the publication, “Aditya has been tight-lipped about the star power he is adding to Dhurandhar 2. The director, who plans to build the Dhurandhar universe, has smartly woven in a track from Uri despite the difference in the two stories’ timelines. Vicky’s character from the war drama, which is set in 2016, is introduced in this film, although it remains unclear whether he and Ranveer’s character cross paths. The cameo includes a few action blocks.”Internet reactsWhile the makers have not issued any official statement, the report quickly surfaced online, prompting mixed, largely negative, reactions from fans. One comment read, “Why am I not at all excited about this cameo? I wanted Dhurandhar to be exclusive and its own universe.” Another wrote, “I don’t think this can happen. Dhar is a very meticulous filmmaker; if these films were set in the same universe, he would have taken Paresh Rawal to play Ajit Doval, not Maddy.” A third commented, “Noooo. I hope this is fake. So tired of shared universes.” Another fan wrote, “Respectfully, WE DON’T WANT THIS. Can we please have Part 2 exclusively for Ranveer? Please leave this sequel be!” Another comment read, “This should never happen. I seriously hope this is just fake news or some PR gimmick.” The end-credit scene of Dhurandhar showed R Madhavan addressing Ranveer Singh’s character as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, prompting viewers to draw connections with Aditya Dhar’s earlier film, Uri: The Surgical Strike. In Uri, a dialogue between Vicky Kaushal and Kirti Kulhari reveals that her character’s husband was Captain Jaskirat Singh Rangi, who was killed in action. Many fans speculated that Dhar might link the two films in the sequel. However, it now appears that audiences are not particularly keen on the idea of a shared universe.About Dhurandhar 2Following the blockbuster success of Dhurandhar, expectations for the sequel are sky-high. Dhurandhar: The Revenge stars Ranveer Singh, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Sanjay Dutt in lead roles, along with Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun in supporting parts. The first film shattered several box-office records, earning over ₹1,300 crore worldwide. The sequel is scheduled to release in theatres on March 19.
