Nushrat Bharucha needs no introduction! She became a household name after the huge success of such films as Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011), Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 (2015) and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018). After staying away from the screen for more than a year, Bharucha is now gearing up for the release of her next film Dream Girl where she is paired opposite Ayushmann Khurrana.
The hugely anticipated film is directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa and is scheduled to hit the marquee on 13th September, 2019. The audience has a lot of expectations from the film because Ayushmann Khurrana and Nushrat Bharucha both have delivered some back-to-back hits in the past.
Talking about her role in Dream Girl, Nushrat says, “Though he (Ayushmann Khurrana) is everybody’s dream girl in the film, I am his. So, the whole story is about him trying to win me over and be with me while other people are trying to get to him.”
When asked about her experience of working with Ayushmann Khurrana for the first time, the actress says, “Oh, amazing! Even before both his films (Andhadhun and Badhaai Ho) came out, Dream Girl was locked. I had seen his early works and after watching his debut, Vicky Donor (2012), I was amazed. He is just so natural and endearing without doing much on screen. Somehow, he does it with every character and it is refreshing to watch him. So, I wanted to work with him even before these two movies came out. He is extremely funny and is always up to something.”
Dream Girl revolves around a small-town man Lokesh Bisht, who gets a job at a female friendship call centre. He changes his name to Pooja and answers calls in a female voice. And soon, a number of men become besotted with Pooja and want to get her anyhow. What happens next forms the crux of the story.
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.
Rapper Hanumankind makes his official Bollywood début with a fierce verse.
Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
