Ranveer Singh turned 40 with a bang as the first teaser of his next action film Dhurandhar dropped on his birthday. The teaser, packed with fast-paced shots and spy-thriller vibes, also introduced his co-star, Tamil actor Sara Arjun. But soon, the internet had a different focus - the 20-year age gap between the two stars.
While the teaser kept the plot under wraps, one blink-and-miss scene of Ranveer and Sara together triggered speculation. A Reddit user pointed out, “Sara Arjun was 18 when Dhurandhar was being filmed.”

This post quickly caught fire, with fans debating whether the two would be paired romantically in the film.
Netizens React To Ranveer Singh And Sara Arjun's Age Gap In Dhurandhar
The reactions were mixed. Some users voiced concern, saying they hoped Dhurandhar wouldn’t follow the tired Bollywood trend of pairing young actresses opposite much older male leads. One Reddit user wrote, “I hope they’re not paired opposite each other romantically… otherwise, ugh!”
Another added, “I hope it’s part of some mission. Again I won’t be surprised if they are romancing. Almost all the actresses debuted in their teens against actors twice their age.”
Others urged fans to wait before jumping to conclusions. A user wrote, “The casting looks intentional. Unless you watch it there is no way to confirm if this is a romantic pairing. Maybe stop imaginary run-ups on theories and bash a movie that has a lot of hard work put into it.”
Another user added, “Let us at least wait for the movie to release. If it doesn’t fit into the story, then let’s criticise.”

The film’s makers haven’t shared any official details about the characters’ relationship. Directed by Uri filmmaker Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar is described as an action-spy thriller. Along with Ranveer and Sara, the film’s cast features big names like Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal.
Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, Dhurandhar is set to release on December 5, 2025. It is expected to clash with Prabhas’ The Raja Saab and Shahid Kapoor’s Vishal Bhardwaj film reportedly titled Arjun Ustara.
Who Is Dhurandhar Actress Sara Arjun?
For those unfamiliar with Sara Arjun, she has been in front of the camera for most of her life. Born in 2005, Sara began acting in TV ads as a toddler and had done over 100 commercials by the age of five. She made a strong acting debut at just six years old in the Tamil film Deiva Thirumagal (2011), where her emotional performance with Vikram earned her major praise.
Since then, Sara has acted in films across Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Malayalam cinema. Her Hindi films include Ek Thi Daayan, Jazbaa, 404, and The Song of Scorpions. In Tamil cinema, she has impressed in films like Saivam and Sillu Karupatti, and she played the younger version of Aishwarya Rai’s character in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: I and II.
Now, with Dhurandhar, Sara steps into the world of big-budget Hindi action films. But whether she plays a romantic lead opposite Ranveer Singh or takes on a completely different role is something fans will have to wait until December 2025 to find out.
