I think they will just follow the trajectory from part one,\u201d he said.<\/p> <p>He further pointed out that both parts were filmed simultaneously, giving the story a continuous flow.<\/p> <p>\u201cIt\u2019s like one film split into two,\u201d Varma noted, drawing comparisons with the storytelling style used in Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.<\/p> <p><strong>A more grounded\u00a0style of action<\/strong><\/p> <p>Varma also praised the franchise&#8217;s approach to action sequences, calling them more realistic compared to the exaggerated style often seen in mainstream commercial films.<\/p> <p>\u201cYou can&#8217;t have people flying in the air and kicking in the air. It&#8217;s got to be real,\u201d he said.<\/p> <p>The filmmaker also reacted positively to the recently released trailer for Dhurandhar 2, applauding Dhar on social media and describing the film&#8217;s scale as \u201cstratospheric\u201d.<\/p> <p><strong>Release date and box office competition<\/strong><\/p> <p>Initially, the film was set to clash with Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, featuring Yash. However, the anticipated box-office battle was avoided after the film was moved to June.<\/p> <p>Despite that change, Dhurandhar 2 will still face competition from Ustaad Bhagat Singh, starring Pawan Kalyan, which is scheduled to release on the same day.<\/p> <p>Apart from Singh, the film features a large ensemble cast including R.
