Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar is now a geopolitical topic! Finnish President Alexander Stubb has caught the attention of Indians with his candid chat about Bollywood’s biggest film of 2025 with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney while jogging in London’s Hyde Park.
The Finnish President was on an informal jog with Carney and their spouses following their Nordic-Canadian summit in Norway.

But the jog soon piqued the Internet’s interest after Carney asked Stubb about his viral Instagram fame in India. “How was your Insta thing in India?” he asked.
In the now-viral video, the Finnish president explained that Dhurandhar was the real reason for his fame in India. “It was huge after I said that I watched Dhurandhar.”
“I realized it’s not a game at all. But yeah,” Stubb said, referring to the movie’s depiction of terrorism and intelligence operations.
In an interview with ANI during his Mumbai visit, Stubb had shared that he watched Dhurandhar on his son’s recommendation before traveling to India.
The Finnish president said he found the story compelling and even joked about being “one part of the narrative,” adding that he looked forward to the sequel.
Dhurandhar stars Ranveer Singh as undercover agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi and blends espionage drama with a storyline centered on counter-terror operations. Its follow-up, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, is scheduled for theatrical release on March 19, with special preview screenings held on March 18.
The sequel sees Singh reprise his role, this time deeply embedded in the criminal underworld under the alias Hamza Ali Mazari. The story follows his rise in Karachi’s Lyari area after the death of gangster Rehman Dakait, originally portrayed by Akshaye Khanna in the first film.
The new installment expands the narrative from personal infiltration to a broader national-security threat. The plot introduces a terror syndicate that Rangi attempts to dismantle from within, with Major Iqbal, played by Arjun Rampal, emerging as a key target. The film also features Sanjay Dutt as law-enforcement officer SP Chaudhary Aslam and R Madhavan as Ajay Sanyal.
