Finnish President Alexander Stubb, currently on a state visit to India, made a surprising revelation during his time in Mumbai. In a lighthearted interaction, the President shared that he watched the 2025 blockbuster Dhurandhar on his son’s recommendation before his arrival.
Expressing his admiration for the film’s themes of resilience and counter-terrorism, Stubb noted that he is eagerly looking forward to the sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which is slated for a massive global release on March 19, 2026.
