At the trailer launch of the spy thriller *Dhurandhar*, Arjun Rampal, who plays a brutal ISI Major named Iqbal, smartly avoided answering questions about his graphic torture scene that shows him skinning a captive alive. When asked about the violent sequence, Rampal said, "I don't want to talk about the scene much," as he finds discussing the filmmaking process boring, instead praising director Aditya Dhar's bold vision for the film. During the launch at Mumbai's Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, Rampal also unintentionally revealed the name of Ranveer Singh's character, which the trailer kept under wraps for suspense. The trailer itself has stirred intense and mixed reactions for its raw violence and intense performances, with Rampal's and Akshaye Khanna's villainous roles receiving particular acclaim[2][7][8]. The trailer, released on November 18, has generated both praise and controversy. Fans have lauded the film's gritty tone, high-quality visuals, and the ensemble cast's intense performances, while some critics and viewers have expressed concern over the extreme violence and torture depicted, warning about potential desensitization of audiences[1][4][6]. Rampal described *Dhurandhar* as unlike anything he has seen before, highlighting the film's thorough research and fresh storytelling approach with grey-shaded characters[5][10]. Overall, the film promises a dark, intense spy thriller experience with standout antagonist portrayals, but the explicit brutality has sparked debate within the audience and media[1][6][7].
