Is Doja Cat set to be a part of Dhurandhar 2's album?

The wait for the next instalment of the Dhurandhar series is almost over. On February 3, the first teaser of the much-awaited sequel, titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, was launched, and the response was immediate, with social media going into a frenzy. While the high-octane visuals of Ranveer Singh in his menacing new avatar made headlines, it was the unexpected choice of background music that really got everyone talking.

Dhurandhar 2 might have music by Doja Cat

Sharp-eyed fans were quick to point out that the song was actually AAAHH MEN! by Grammy Award-winning artist Doja Cat, from her latest album Vie. The team has since confirmed the collaboration, with the song being officially licensed to give the teaser’s soundtrack a sleek, Western pop twist. This international musical shift comes hot on the heels of the phenomenal success of the first film’s Arabic hip-hop track, Fa9la by Flipperachi, which topped global charts and even made it into the Guinness World Records.

The sequel, directed by Aditya Dhar, is all set to uncover the background of Hamza Ali Mazari, the undercover agent who successfully infiltrated the criminal networks of Lyari, Pakistan. Though the teaser presents Sanjay Dutt as an unstoppable task force leader and R Madhavan as the Director of the IB, fans quickly pointed out the absence of Akshaye Khanna. However, Ranveer later confirmed that Akshaye will be back in the sequel with extensive flashback sequences, carrying forward the legacy of his character, Rehman Dakait.

Though the teaser has generated a lot of buzz, it has received a mixed response from the fans. While some fans appreciated the suspenseful environment and the Doja Cat collaboration, others expressed their disappointment, stating that the teaser was too dependent on the footage that was already present in the credits of the original film.

However, the ambition level of the project is quite clear. With a scheduled theatrical release on March 19, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is set to match the phenomenal success of the first part, which collected over ₹1,303 crores worldwide.
