Earlier, news reports of rumoured cameos of YamiGautam and Vicky Kaushal made the headlines. Amid all this buzz, actor Anil Kapoor has now revealed that he, too, was approached to appear in a special cameo in Dhurandhar 2. Ahead of the same, during his session titled The Ageless Rebel: Rewriting the Rules of Stardom on Day 1 of India Today Conclave Delhi 2026, Anil Kapoor revealed, “Yes, Aditya came to me for Dhurandhar 2. He wanted me to do a small cameo in the film. But the reason I am what I am today is because of my professionalism and my commitment. That’s very important, only talent cannot make you what you are.”

Revealing the reason behind rejecting the sequel, Anil shared, “At that time, I had already committed those dates to another filmmaker. I told Aditya, ‘I would have loved to do this cameo, but I’m already committed.’ He is releasing the film now, and it’s a fantastic film. It’s my loss, but it’s okay.” However, the actor went on to add, “At least I know in the back of my mind that it can happen to him as well, there could be another filmmaker who has just delivered a big blockbuster and offers me something when I’m already committed to Aditya. If I then go and do that film and cancel his dates, that would be completely unprofessional. So yes, he did offer me the role, and hopefully we will work together in the future.”
