Fans have been waiting for the Dhurandhar trailer release for a long time now. Ever since the film's teaser was released, fans have been waiting to know more about the action-packed film. And now, after a four-month wait, the film's trailer has finally been released at an exclusive event. However, two major cast members were absent from the launch event. The reason being: Visa Issues, or so we thought.

Sanjay Dutt and Akshaye Khanna missed the Dhurandhar trailer launch due to visa issues

The trailer of Ranveer Singh's much-anticipated film, Dhurandhar, was launched in Mumbai on November 18, 2025. The event was not just star-studded; the fans brought the energy of an entire army to the launch. However, while the event was attended by Ranveer, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, debutant Sara Arjun, and others, fans didn't miss that two faces were missing from the promotion.

Fans were quick to notice that Sanjay Dutt and Akshaye Khanna, who have played pivotal roles in the film, were nowhere to be seen. The cast felt the audience's curiosity about the missing actors, and Arjun Rampal clarified that their non-attendance was due to visa-related issues. During the interaction, Arjun claimed they didn't receive their visas in time, thus they couldn't be here. The actor was quoted as saying:

"Sanjay sir and Akshaye couldn't be here today as they didn't get their visas on time. They were really looking forward to joining us for the launch, but unfortunately, it didn't work out."

While the fans missed Sanjay Dutt and Akshaye Khanna at the event, they still swooned over the thrilling trailer. The event received an energetic response, especially with Ranveer Singh leading the launch. While some fans were convinced the film would be the biggest blockbuster, others are now waiting with bated breath for its release. The present cast had a hearty interaction with the fans, with Arjun Rampal's charisma, R. Madhavan's class, and Ranveer Singh's energy; the event was truly an adrenaline rush.

Did Sanjay Dutt and Akshaye Khanna really have visa-related issues?

While fans didn't question Arjun Rampal's clarification, their curiosity about the visa issue was at its peak. Addressing the same during a conversation with Hindustan Times, the movie's management team clarified that Akshaye Khanna and Sunjay Dutt were busy with shoots for their other projects and hence couldn't attend the event. They revealed that Arjun's statement was meant to be a joke. They were quoted as saying:

"Arjun was joking. It was meant to be a joke. Sanjay sir and Akshaye are shooting for other things and couldn't be here."
