The anticipation for Dhurandhar: The Revenge has been high ever since the teaser of the film was released earlier this year. After a monstrous box office success of the first part, fans are waiting with bated breath for the sequel.

Now, reports suggest this Bollywood actor might be roped in to play Bade Sahab in Aditya Dhar`s spy espionage drama. If it`s true, the stakes just got higher!
