Disclaimer: Spoiler ahead!

In ‘Uri’, there is a memorable scene where Vicky Kaushal’s character, Vihaan, meets Flight Lieutenant Seerat Kaur, an Air Force pilot whose Army officer husband was killed in an ambush.

The role was played by Kirti Kulhari. This particular scene resurfaced after ‘Dhurandhar’ released, because Seerat reveals her husband’s name, Jaskirat Singh Rangi of the Punjab Regiment, who died in the Naushera Sector operation.Meanwhile, ‘Dhurandhar’, Ranveer Singh plays Hamza, chosen by the intelligence chief (played by R Madhavan) to secretly penetrate gangster Rehman Dakait’s network in Pakistan’s Lyari.

The twist arrives in the climax, when it is revealed that Hamza is actually a prisoner named Jaskirat Singh Rangi, given this mission as part of redemption. Fans immediately spotted the shared name and began speculating online.

Several videos of the 'Uri' scene and Ranveer's character in 'Dhurandhar' have gone viral on the internet.

One comment read, “Dhurandhar and Vicky Kaushal Uri are connected, with Ranveer Singh’s character Jaskirat Singh Rangi (Hamza) introduced in Uri.

He’s an Indian spy who infiltrates Pakistan’s underworld to take down a gangster-ISI nexus," while another said, “Can’t be a coincidence. Both films are directed by Aditya Dhar."However, several fans dismissed the theory, noting that the timelines do not match. Many believe the name overlap could simply be accidental. For now, it remains a fan-made assumption, and any real answers about Hamza’s backstory are expected to unfold in ‘Dhurandhar 2’.The sequel to 'Dhurandhar' has already been announced and is scheduled for release on March 19, 2026.
