Ranveer Singh’s latest project, Dhurandhar, has set social media ablaze, not just for his dynamic presence but for the explosive rap by Hanumankind, the Bengaluru-based rapper who’s taking Indian hip-hop to a global level.
Ever since the film’s teaser dropped, fans can’t stop talking about the hard-hitting verses, slick visuals, and raw energy that blend seamlessly with Ranveer’s intense screen persona. Within hours, hashtags like #Hanumankind and #DhurandharRap began trending on X and Instagram.
The Rap that stole the Spotlight
Hanumankind, whose real name is Karthik Sudhir, has been one of the most exciting new voices in India’s rap scene. Known for tracks like Big Dawgs and Genghis, he’s carved a niche with sharp lyricism and confident delivery, and Dhurandhar just pushed it to another level.
The track, produced by Karan Kanchan, fuses gritty percussion with a cinematic beat drop that mirrors the film’s raw aesthetic. Ranveer Singh, who’s long been a hip-hop enthusiast since Gully Boy, perfectly complements Hanumankind’s verse with his expressive energy, creating what fans are calling “the most electrifying rap moment in a Bollywood teaser in years.”
Fans React: “This Is the Future of Indian Rap”
The teaser’s comment section is flooded with praise for Hanumankind’s flow and diction. On YouTube, fans wrote:
“The way Hanumankind switches tempo is insane — pure chills!”
“Ranveer and Hanumankind together? India’s version of Kendrick and Eminem.”
Meanwhile, on Instagram Reels, clips from the teaser have racked up millions of views, with users remixing the track into workout edits and rap tributes.
A Rising Star with a Distinct Sound - Hanumankind
Hanumankind’s rise hasn’t been overnight. His earlier tracks, from "Big Dawgs" to "No Hook," showcased a balance between English and Indian street sounds, setting him apart from mainstream rap. In interviews with Rolling Stone India and The Hindu, he has spoken about redefining what Indian rap can sound like, without fitting into commercial molds.
His collaboration with Ranveer in Dhurandhar feels like a natural evolution. It's authentic, unapologetic, and modern. The synergy between Bollywood’s biggest showman and one of the underground’s most promising rappers has given Indian music a cultural moment to remember.
What Makes Dhurandhar Stand Out
Directed by Shankar Raman, Dhurandhar is said to be a stylized action drama that taps into India’s emerging hip-hop culture. The teaser itself feels more like a music video with high-contrast visuals, neon cityscapes, and rhythmic cuts that keep time with Hanumankind’s bars.
According to Film Companion and India Today, the film’s team aims to create a world where music, masculinity, and identity collide, something rarely seen in Indian cinema.
While the film’s full soundtrack is yet to drop, one thing’s certain that Dhurandhar has already sparked a cultural wave. For Hanumankind, it’s the moment that cements his transition from underground talent to mainstream game-changer.
