Actor Danish Pandor said he was 'completely heartbroken' after paid previews of Dhurandhar: The Revenge was cancelled a day before release. He recalled attending a Friday show with barely 40–50 viewers but said the film picked up later that night as reviews and social media buzz brought audiences to theaters. "There was too much negative publicity around it," he added.

Danish Pandor, who played Uzair Baloch, the cousin of Rehman Dakait (played by Akshaye Khanna), in Dhurandhar, recently opened up about a disappointing moment despite the film's box-office success. He recalled that the paid previews of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, scheduled a day before its March 19 release, were cancelled at the last minute due to technical issues that delayed the delivery of the final content to theatres. The sudden cancellation left several audience members upset, turning what was meant to be a thrilling experience into a disappointment.

'There Was Too Much Negative Publicity Around It'

Talking about it, Danish said he was 'completely heartbroken.' He added, "It's all about the audience. I remember the film released on Friday after the screening got cancelled on Thursday. I was completely heartbroken. I couldn’t understand what was happening. I kept thinking, 'It is such a great film, why is this happening?' And on top of that, there was too much negative publicity around it."

Further, Danish stated that when Dhurandhar: The Revenge finally released on Friday, he attended the 2:30 pm show and was shocked to see barely 40–50 people in the theatre. He recalled wondering how such a well-made film had attracted so few viewers.
