Udaybir Sandhu has earned praise for playing Pinda, the childhood friend of Ranveer Singh's character in Dhurandhar 2. His performance, especially the confrontation scene and his dialogue, "Ghar ki yaad nahi aayi tujhe, Jassi?", impressed audiences. A national-level hockey player from Punjab, he debuted with Gold, later appeared in Amar Singh Chamkila and Punjabi film Ikk Kudi.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2), directed by Aditya Dhar, stars Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, R. Madhavan and Sanjay Dutt in lead roles. Apart from the main cast, several supporting actors have also been lauded for their strong performances, including Udaybir Sandhu, who plays Gurbaaz Singh aka Pinda, the childhood friend of Jaskirat Singh Rangi.
Udaybir Sandhu's Role In Dhurandhar 2
In the first half of the film, Udaybir portrays Pinda as a 20-year-old who stands by Jaskirat (Ranveer Singh) after a tragic land dispute in which Jaskirat’s father is killed, his elder sister is gang-raped and murdered, and his younger sister Jasleen is abducted. Pinda later helps Jaskirat procure guns from UP politician-gangster Atif Ahmed to take revenge on local MLA Sukhwinder Singh.
However, right before the interval, Pinda meets Hamza years later in Pakistan, as part of a drug-running operation linked to terrorism. His dialogue, "Ghar ki yaad nahi aayi tujhe, Jassi?", left the audience shocked as he initially pretends not to recognise Hamza due to his drastic transformation. The tension peaks when it is revealed that Pinda has discovered Hamza's true identity as an Indian spy operating in Pakistan.
