Arjun Rampal recalls experiencing the horrors of the 26/11 terror attackArjun shared that in 2008, during the attacks, he was at a hotel to pick up his friends. He revealed that they were on their way to the Taj Hotel to celebrate his birthday when the first explosion occurred near Mahim.Recalling the moment, the actor said, “I heard that sound and the whole glass kind of shook and rattled, and we were like, ‘What the hell was that?’ Within 10 minutes, our phones started ringing and everyone said there was some gang war that had broken out in Colaba. In 20–30 minutes, the entire Four Seasons hotel was cordoned off. Adarsh Jatia very graciously gave me a suit and said, ‘You can stay here for the night, but we can’t let anybody go out, it’s not safe.’”He added, “On my birthday, I saw the horrors of 26/11 play out. In the morning, when I drove back home, I had to stop at least three times because I felt like I was going to be sick. When Aditya Dhar narrated the 26/11 sequence to me, I knew I was going to have my revenge — and that’s what I did with Dhurandhar. All I want to say is, Bharat Mata Ki Jai.”

The first instalment of Aditya Dhar’s film collected ₹1,300 crore worldwide at the box office. Following its massive success, fans eagerly awaited Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which opened to positive reviews and a bumper start, collecting ₹145 crore on its first day. In just four days, the film has reportedly crossed ₹450 crore at the domestic box office and ₹750 crore worldwide. The film continues to enjoy a strong run in theatres.
