The RAW Recruitment

Just when Jaskirat believes his life is over and his aspirations of serving the nation are dashed, he encounters R Madhavan’s character, Ajay Sanyal. Their meeting is anything but ordinary, as Jaskirat is abducted during a prison transfer, creating the illusion of a police blunder, which allows his mother to receive compensation. Ajay, who is scouting for Operation Dhurandhar, identifies Jaskirat as an ideal candidate. Initially disillusioned with his country, Jaskirat hesitates to join, but after some persuasion, he agrees to become an undercover agent in Pakistan.

Before embarking on this mission, he undergoes rigorous training to prepare for life as a spy. He is also given a new identity, Hamza Ali Mazari, which translates to 'Babbar Sher', as explained by Ajay. The prequel, Dhurandhar, picks up from this pivotal moment.
