Spoilers ahead: This story contains spoilers related to Dhurandhar 2.
Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which was released in theatres on March 19, has caught audiences' attention not just for its scale and performances, but also for an interesting detail linked to actor Yami Gautam. The film features a cameo by Yami, and her brief appearance has sparked discussion because of its connections to two of her earlier films - Haq and Uri: The Surgical Strike.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar: The Revenge stars Ranveer Singh in the lead, alongside Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, and Sanjay Dutt.
Yami Gautam's Cameo In Dhurandhar 2
In Dhurandhar 2, Yami Gautam portrays a nurse who is operating as an Indian undercover agent in Pakistan. While the cameo is brief, we could not help but notice an intriguing detail - the name tag on her uniform reads "Shazia Bano."
This was the name of her character in Haq, making it a subtle callback or Easter egg for attentive viewers.
The Uri Connection
Yami's appearance in Dhurandhar 2 also brings back memories of her role in Uri: The Surgical Strike. In the 2019 film, she played Pallavi Sharma, a R&AW officer who initially enters Vicky Kaushal's life disguised as a nurse named Jasmine. The undercover nurse-turned-agent angle in Dhurandhar 2 closely mirrors this narrative beat.
Uri: The Surgical Strike also marked Yami Gautam's first collaboration with Aditya Dhar, who later married the actor.
About Haq
Directed by Suparn Verma, the courtroom drama Haq starred Yami Gautam Dhar and Emraan Hashmi in the lead roles. The film was inspired by the landmark Supreme Court judgement in Mohd Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum.
