Actor Danish Iqbal has revealed that viral pictures and rumors linking Salman Khan and Emraan Hashmi to his role in Dhurandhar: The Revenge left him anxious and fearing he had been replaced in the film by director Aditya Dhar.
Following the release of Dhurandhar in December 2025, speculation about the mysterious character Bade Sahab intensified, with several names circulating on social media.
Danish admitted the buzz unsettled him and even considered calling Aditya Dhar to check if he had replaced him.
However, it was finally confirmed that Danish plays Bade Sahab, who is revealed to be Dawood Ibrahim in the sequel.
His portrayal of the ageing, bedridden don has drawn attention for its intensity and transformation.
Danish also shared that he was initially unaware of the full scope of his character and underwent an extensive prosthetic transformation to portray an older version of the character.
The role required Danish to spend nearly 12 hours in makeup, shooting with intense focus and concentration, and it would take him about an hour to come out of the character.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge has delivered a record-breaking run, crossing the ₹500 crore mark worldwide within just three days of release.
