Director Aditya Dhar is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming film, Dhurandhar: The Revenge. After the great success of the first part, Aditya, along with his brother Lokesh Dhar, might be looking for a longer relationship with JioStudios, who has backed the film. The brothers have reportedly renewed a two-year deal with the studio, which will see them work on multiple projects over the course of the deal.
Brother Dhar co-founded B62 Studios in 2021, the same year Aditya married actor Yami Gautam. Then in 2023, they signed a multi-project deal with Jio, and that relationship gave rise to films like Aditya Suhas Jambhale’s Article 370 and Rishab Seth’s Baramulla, Dhoom Dhaam, and the two parts of Dhurandhar led by Ranveer Singh. While many would think that the studio wanted the Dhar brothers to return after the success of Dhurandhar, in reality the two were stuck before the film had a historic run at the box office.
According to a report in Variety, JioStudios and B62 renewed this contract on December 5, just the day Dhurandhar was released. This means that the studio backed the brothers before they even knew how the film was going to work.
What’s next for Aditya Dhar?
