:Dhurandhar actor Suvinder Vicky reveals how Aditya Dhar carefully handled abusive dialogues in Dhurandhar: The Revenge, predicting censorship while deliberately avoiding offensive language involving mothers and sisters
WEBDESK – ABDULLAH FARHAD – SHARJAH NEWS
Mumbai, August 13, 2026: Dhurandhar: The Revenge has once again become a talking point after actor Suvinder Vicky opened up about the film’s use of strong and abusive language, revealing how director Aditya Dhar approached dialogues that could potentially attract censorship.
Vicky, who plays Brigadier Jahangir in the Ranveer Singh-led action thriller, said he initially expected several of his character’s abusive lines to be muted or removed. However, according to the actor, Dhar was confident that the language had been carefully written to avoid unnecessary censorship.
Suvinder Vicky Reveals What Happened Behind the Scenes
In a recent interview, Vicky recalled discussing the heavily abusive dialogues with Dhar before filming. The actor apparently believed that much of the language would eventually be censored.
Dhar, however, reportedly reassured him that the dialogues would remain intact because the filmmaker had deliberately researched which kinds of abusive expressions could be used without automatically triggering censorship.
Vicky’s comments provide an unusual glimpse into the creative decisions behind one of the year’s most talked-about Hindi action films. The Indian Express reported that the actor remembered Dhar being confident that the abuses would not simply be “beeped” out.
Aditya Dhar Drew One Major Line
Despite allowing strong language, Dhar reportedly imposed an important restriction.
According to Vicky, the director specifically instructed him not to use abusive expressions involving mothers and sisters. The actor explained that Dhar wanted the character’s aggressive personality to come through without crossing that particular line.
The Times of India independently reported the same detail, noting that Dhar wanted to maintain a boundary even within the film’s gritty and intense dialogue
This distinction is significant because Dhurandhar: The Revenge contains intense violence, confrontational scenes and strong language. Rather than removing the aggressive characterization altogether, the filmmakers appear to have attempted to preserve its impact while staying within the limits required for theatrical certification.
Why the Dialogue Became a Talking Point
The issue of abusive language has been part of the wider conversation surrounding the Dhurandhar franchise.
The sequel received an A certificate from India’s Central Board of Film Certification, reflecting its adult-oriented content. Reports surrounding the film’s theatrical certification have also documented cuts involving violent visuals and abusive words.
That makes Vicky’s latest revelation particularly interesting. His account suggests that some of the language audiences heard was not simply overlooked by the certification process. Instead, at least some dialogue choices were reportedly made with an awareness of what might or might not be acceptable.
Vicky’s Character and Arjun Rampal’s Role
Vicky plays Brigadier Jahangir, a character connected to Arjun Rampal’s Major Iqbal. The actor has also discussed filming emotionally charged scenes involving Rampal.
NDTV reported that Vicky recalled the intensity surrounding his character’s abusive exchanges with Rampal’s character and explained how the dialogue contributed to the relationship between the two characters.
The revelation therefore isn’t simply about profanity. It also highlights how filmmakers use language to establish power, anger and tension between characters.
A Debate Over Creativity and Censorship
The latest comments have reopened a broader Bollywood debate: how far can filmmakers go with violent or abusive dialogue while still satisfying India’s certification requirements?
Earlier discussions around Dhurandhar: The Revenge also raised questions about partially muted abuses and changes made to the film. The Indian Express previously reported criticism from actor Deepak Tijori regarding the way some abusive words were treated differently in the film.
Vicky’s comments now add the perspective of someone who was directly involved in performing those scenes.
Ultimately, his account portrays Aditya Dhar’s approach as deliberate rather than accidental: the director wanted the film’s raw, aggressive tone to remain intact, but he also established a clear boundary around certain forms of abuse.
With Dhurandhar: The Revenge continuing to generate discussion months after its release, Vicky’s revelation offers audiences a behind-the-scenes explanation of how one of its most controversial elements was crafted.
