Aditya Dhar has kicked off the shoot for his upcoming action drama ‘Dhurandhar 2,’ starring Ranveer Singh. Recently, behind-the-scenes clips featuring Sanjay Dutt from the film’s set went viral.

A video shared on Reddit captures Sanjay in character as SP Chaudhary Aslam, also known as The Jinn, dressed in his signature white jubba.

In another clip, cars and bike props on the same street are seen ablaze following what appears to be an explosion. An ambulance drives through the chaos as Sanjay, cigarette in hand, walks toward it for his scene. The sequence seems to depict the aftermath of the previously leaked shootout, and a member of the direction team can be heard calling out “cut” once the shot is completed. Reacting to the clip, one Reddit user speculated that the scene might depict the much-anticipated face-off between The Jinn and Hamza in Dhurandhar 2. Another commenter suggested it could reference the notorious moment where Chaudhry Aslam halts food supplies and blocks an ambulance from entering Lyari, drawing striking parallels to a real-life incident.
