Mumbai, March 13: The much-anticipated film ‘Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge’ is set to release on March 19. The movie features Ranveer Singh in a dangerous action mode as Hamza Ali, alongside Arjun Rampal, who portrays the menacing Major Iqbal, a character that is sure to send chills down the audience’s spine.
In ‘Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge’, Major Iqbal emerges as the true villain following the death of Rahman Dacoit. While Akshaye Khanna left a lasting impression as a villain in the first installment, becoming one of Bollywood’s most memorable characters, the question remains: will Arjun Rampal achieve the same level of popularity in this sequel?
Few could have imagined the versatility of Akshaye Khanna, who played ‘Jeetu Videocon’ in ‘Hungama’. His career has largely featured comedic roles or the lovesick hero. However, it was his portrayal of negative characters that truly showcased his talent. He received acclaim for his villainous role in ‘Humraaz’ during the first phase of his career.
In his second phase, Khanna garnered praise for his role as Aurangzeb in ‘Chhawa’, but it was his character of Rahman Dacoit that elevated his career to new heights. In this role, he appears as a fearless gangster driven by a desire for power and love. He excels in defeating enemies on the battlefield while also fulfilling his duties as a devoted father and husband. This blend of emotional complexity has won the hearts of fans.
On the other hand, Arjun Rampal’s Major Iqbal is a calm yet ruthless predator embedded within the system, seeking to manipulate Hamza. In ‘Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge’, Major Iqbal is a villain not motivated by power or money, but rather by a strategy to destroy India. Notably, Iqbal is far more dangerous than Rahman Dacoit, as his brutality is masked by an emotionless facade filled only with hatred. The actor has portrayed this intensely negative character with a fierce conviction.
Arjun Rampal has played several gray-shaded roles in films like ‘Nail Polish’, ‘Don’, ‘Daddy’, ‘Kahaani 2’, and ‘Aankhen’, but none have propelled his career to the heights that his hard work deserves. It remains to be seen whether he will achieve the same success in this sequel as Akshaye Khanna did, or if Rahman Dacoit will continue to dominate the audience’s hearts. Fans will have to wait a long seven days to find out.
