Fans received a birthday treat on Ranveer Singh’s 40th birthday as the much-anticipated first look video of his upcoming action-thriller Dhurandhar dropped online. The stylish first look not only revealed the film’s December 5, 2025 release date but also introduced the leading lady, 20-year-old Tamil actor Sara Arjunopposite Ranveer.While the video generated buzz for its slick visuals and high-stakes spy-action narrative, it also triggered a wave of online discussion over the 20-year age gap between the lead actors.Social media reacts: It’s giving dad-daughter vibes’Though the first look revealed little about the plot or the characters’ dynamics, many users quickly voiced concern over the possibility of a romantic pairing between Ranveer and Sara.“Sara Arjun was 18 when Dhurandhar was being filmed,” a Reddit user on the BollyBlindsNGossip subreddit noted, sharing a screenshot from the teaser.Another comment read, “It’s giving me an ick… even though she’s 18 she looks like she’s in mid-teen years… it’s giving dad-daughter vibes and no chemistry!!”A user added, “I hope they’re not paired opposite each other romantically… otherwise, ugh!” While another remarked, “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 urge patience: ‘Don’t judge until the film is out’
However, several users also came to the film’s defense, urging others not to jump to conclusions.“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,” one Redditor wrote.Another echoed the sentiment, “Let us at least wait for the movie to release. If it doesn’t fit into the story, then let’s criticise.”
