Actor Yami Gautam is reportedly set to appear in a special cameo in Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the upcoming sequel directed by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh. The film, slated for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026, has already generated strong buzz — and recent reports about Yami’s appearance have triggered fresh discussion on social media.
According to entertainment portal Pinkvilla, Yami has completed nearly five days of shooting for what is described as an action-driven and narratively significant cameo. A source quoted in the report stated that while the role is brief, it is designed to leave a lasting impact on viewers.
The sequel follows the success of the original Dhurandhar, which performed strongly at the box office and featured a large ensemble cast.
Online Reactions Divided
Shortly after the report surfaced, Reddit users began debating the casting choice. Some comments questioned whether her appearance in a film directed by her husband constitutes favoritism.
One user remarked humorously about the casting, while another speculated about possible narrative connections to Uri: The Surgical Strike, a previous collaboration between Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar.
A few commenters described the move as an example of industry privilege, referencing Dhar’s professional collaborations with Yami and members of her family in past projects. However, others countered the criticism, pointing out that reports of her cameo had been mentioned early in production updates.
“They said at the very beginning that she will have a cameo in the movie,” one user wrote in her defence. Another added brief words of support for the director.
Past Collaborations
Yami Gautam has previously worked with Aditya Dhar on Uri: The Surgical Strike, as well as other projects including Article 370 and Dhoom Dhaam. Their professional collaborations have often drawn attention given their personal relationship.
As Dhurandhar: The Revenge approaches its release date, audience response to the film — and Yami’s cameo — will likely determine whether the online debate translates into broader conversation within the industry.
