The excitement for Dhurandhar, the upcoming action drama of Ranveer Singh and Arjun Rampal, came to an unexpected pause as its trailer launch event was postponed after the Delhi blast tragedy. Slated for Wednesday, November 12, the launch was supposed to be a grand affair. In view of the unfortunate incident that shook the national capital, the makers have decided to postpone it as a mark of respect to the departed souls and their family.
This has now been officially announced by Jio Studios, the production company behind Dhurandhar, pointing out that some moments require compassion over anything else. The country is still in shock after a blast in Delhi near the historic Red Fort claimed the lives of innocent people. The world of entertainment also came forward in unity as a reminder that empathy will always be beforehand over promotion.
Jio Studios' Official Announcement
Jio Studios in a statement said, “The Dhurandhar trailer launch which was scheduled for 12th November is being postponed as a mark of respect to the victims and the families who have been affected by yesterday’s Delhi Blast. The revised date and details pertaining to the trailer launch will be shared very soon. Thank you for your understanding.”
The message from the studio instantly connected with the fans and other filmmakers on an emotional level. Many praised the production team for taking a sensitive stand instead of moving ahead with the planned celebrations. The statement from the studio then went viral online, after which Ranveer Singh posted the same message on his Instagram Stories, full of support for the decision.
The simple, powerful gesture by Ranveer reflected maturity and empathy, and proved once again that beyond the glitz and glamour, humanity still leads the way in Bollywood.
Ranveer Singh's Heartfelt Words
While Ranveer Singh is always full of energy and radiates charisma, positivity, and enthusiasm, the actor shared a solemn message on social media. He shared his feelings of grief by saying, “Horrified by what transpired in Delhi yesterday evening. Condolences to the bereaved families.”
His message went viral on social media, and several fans and colleagues appreciated his empathy and understanding of the occasion. Many of the users commented that it’s “right and respectful” to postpone the event. Ranveer’s emotional tone in the post reminded everyone that behind all the glamour of stardom lies a deeply compassionate human being.
Bollywood has in the past few years often stopped its celebrations and come into the streets to stand in solidarity during times of national mourning. This decision by the team of Dhurandhar furthers the same tradition-a reminder that cinema reflects life, and sometimes, it is best to step back and stand together as a nation.
What Happened in Delhi: The Tragic Blast Near Red Fort
The blast occurred near Red Fort in Delhi on Monday evening. According to officials, the blast occurred inside a Hyundai i20 car that was moving slowly at the Subhash Marg traffic signal. The area, always populated by office-goers and tourists, was engulfed in chaos with the explosion sending shockwaves across the neighborhood.
Initial reports indicated that at least eight people died and several others were injured. The rescue teams and security forces arrived at the site immediately, sealed off the area, and initiated investigations right away. The tragedy has left the people all over the nation in shock and grief.
According to preliminary results from the investigation, it was not a suicide attack, but an accidental detonation in panic. However, these details are still being verified by the authorities, who continue to investigate.
NIA Steps In: A Nationwide Investigation
The gravity of the blast has now brought the National Investigation Agency into the investigation. Raids are being carried out across cities such as Faridabad, Saharanpur, and Pulwama by NIA, Delhi Police, and other intelligence agencies.
Reports state that large amounts of explosives and materials that could be related to terror activities were retrieved during these raids. Even though no group has claimed responsibility, the quantum of the materials recovered suggests that the incident might involve an organized network.
The security agencies are not leaving any stone unturned to get to the root of this. Forensic teams are analyzing pieces of evidence, while detectives are scrutinizing CCTV footage and communication records to identify the suspect. It has been assured by the government that culprits will be brought to book.
