Casting director Mukesh Chhabra took to social media to highlight director Aditya Dhar's relentless efforts to resolve the issues.

I’m just really happy, grateful, and proud… proud of him, proud #Dhurandhar2." This statement comes in response to the cancellations that frustrated audiences across various locations.
Technical Difficulties Impact Multi-Language Release
The film, released in multiple languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, faced significant disruptions in regions such as Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Delhi due to content unavailability. Aditya Dhar addressed these challenges on his social media, stating, "To our dear Dhurandhar family, Dhurandhar is not just a film for us; it is something we have lived with, nurtured, and dreamed of sharing with each and every one of you, together, at the same moment, in every language."
He provided an update on the screening schedule: "Most of our Hindi shows across India are running as scheduled from 5 pm onwards. All of our Tamil and Telugu shows will commence from 9 pm onwards. However, due to unforeseen technical difficulties, our Malayalam and Kannada shows will begin tomorrow morning."
Film Details and Cast
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar: The Revenge features a star-studded cast including Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun. The multi-language release strategy aims to reach a broad audience, though initial technical glitches have posed challenges.
Despite these setbacks, the film's strong box office performance indicates robust audience interest. Industry observers are closely watching its trajectory, with many predicting it could break records given the positive buzz and dedicated efforts from the team.
