Danish Iqbal opens up about keeping his role as Dawood Ibrahim in Dhurandhar 2 a complete secret, even from his own family. The actor also reveals he initially didn’t know he was playing “Bade Sahab” and was surprised by the growing speculation around his character.

Dhurandhar 2 is receiving nationwide praise for director Aditya Dhar’s meticulous detailing and the cast’s powerful performances. However, one scene that quickly grabbed attention after the film’s release is the hospital sequence featuring Dawood Ibrahim. The actor behind the role of the notorious “Bade Sahab” is Danish Iqbal.

Danish recently opened up about the strict NDAs he had to sign before taking up the role, not just legal agreements, but moral ones as well. He maintained such intense secrecy that even his own family had no idea about his character.

Admitting how closely he guarded the secret, Danish told NDTV, "I didn't tell my family. No one knew what I was playing, what I was doing." While his family knew he was shooting for the film, they had no clue about the role he was portraying.

Speaking about the temptation to share details of such a significant project, Danish said, "You feel like sharing, of course you do. But this is also part of the profession." He added that he kept the secret even from his wife, who understood the nature of the industry and had no issues with it.
