Most wouldn’t associate a viral dance number with Akshaye Khanna. Yet, the actor’s Arabic track, FA9LA, from Dhurandhar (2025) became an internet sensation. Now that filmmaker Aditya Dhar and leading man Ranveer Singh are readying Dhurandhar The Revenge for release, are they feeling the pressure of delivering another chartbuster? Well, from what we’ve heard, a track is already lined up, this one featuring Singh when his character is declared the new Sher-e-Baloch.

mid-day has exclusively learnt that the song was filmed just a day before Khanna’s FA9LA was, in Ladakh.

A source revealed, “After Akshaye’s character Rehman Dakait is killed in Dhurandhar, the Sher-e-Baloch title is given to Ranveer’s Hamza in the sequel. The song is a celebration of his ascension. Aditya shot Ranveer’s number on the same set in Ladakh. He decided to shoot the two songs back-to-back as the set was already standing, and given the challenging climatic conditions, it didn’t make sense to return to Ladakh later only for a song.”

So, will we see Singh shake a leg in the number, like Khanna? Not a chance. The source further explained, “Rehman Dakait was a ruthless but flamboyant character, while Hamza is shown as a serious, quiet, and aggressive character with a personal mission. So, Aditya felt his character wouldn’t let loose like this. While the background dancers perform, Hamza isn’t seen joining them.”

Vijay Ganguly has choreographed the number.
