Was Dhurandhar Originally Planned as an OTT Web Series? Latest Reports Reveal Details

Ranveer Singh’s blockbuster espionage action thriller Dhurandhar continues its rampage on Netflix after its theatrical success. The makers are now busy putting the finishing touches on its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which is set to arrive in cinemas on March 19, 2026, in multiple languages.

Amid the release buzz, recent reports have revived an interesting development-stage detail that Dhurandhar was originally planned as an OTT web series. Several reports state that the story was first structured in an episodic format suited for streaming, with multi-chapter missions and deeper character exploration.

However, as the script expanded and the action scale increased, the makers reportedly shifted the project to a theatrical film format. The narrative was tightened, subplots were merged, and the screenplay was reshaped into a fast-paced feature designed for the big screen.

With the sequel nearing release, there is still no official confirmation of a separate web series, but industry chatter suggests the franchise could explore OTT spin-offs in the future if the universe grows further.
