Dhar, however, has not committed to the idea yet despite having an idea about the third part. "For now, Jio Studios doesn't want to miss out and has asked Dhar to at least include a post-credit tease in Dhurandhar 2 to hint at a possible third film to sustain audience excitement," the source added.
