Limited edition range inspired by the film starts at Rs 349 on Ajio.
MUMBAI: When cinema meets the wardrobe, fandom doesn’t just stay on the screen, it walks out onto the street. Ajio, India’s fashion e-commerce platform, has launched an exclusive merchandise collection inspired by the spy-action film Dhurandhar, extending the film’s bold on-screen personality into everyday fashion.
The limited-edition range has been created in collaboration with Jio Studios and features graphic driven apparel and statement silhouettes that draw directly from the film’s high-energy aesthetic and characters.
Designed to appeal to both movie fans and style conscious shoppers, the collection translates the cinematic swagger of Dhurandhar into wearable fashion pieces starting at Rs 349.
The collection includes graphic T-shirts featuring iconic movie quotes, signature tees inspired by actor Ranveer Singh and limited-edition signed Pathani outfits that echo the larger-than-life style associated with the film’s characters.
Also part of the line-up is a collection inspired by Sara Arjun, translating her on-screen styling into contemporary silhouettes designed to appeal to younger audiences and fashion forward fans.
With bold typography, statement graphics and confident tailoring, the range blends cinematic storytelling with streetwear aesthetics, turning the film’s cultural energy into a fashion statement.
The collaboration reflects Ajio’s growing strategy of using fashion collaborations to tap into pop culture moments and entertainment properties.
By bringing elements of popular films into apparel, the platform allows audiences to move beyond simply watching a film and instead wear their fandom, making cinema part of everyday style.
Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, Dhurandhar has emerged as one of the most talked-about action thrillers in recent times, known for its high-octane storytelling and larger-than-life characters.
The film, written and directed by Aditya Dhar, is also set to expand into a franchise, with the sequel “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” scheduled to release in theatres worldwide on March 19, 2026.
By launching the merchandise collection ahead of the sequel, Ajio and the film’s producers are extending the film’s universe into fashion, giving fans another way to connect with the story and its characters.
The Dhurandhar merchandise collection is now available exclusively on Ajio, bringing cinematic attitude, bold graphics and spy-thriller swagger straight into the wardrobes of fans.

Boeing appoints Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering function
Seasoned finance leader to steer budgets and strategy across global centres
BENGALURU: Boeing’s finance cockpit has a new pilot, and he is no stranger to turbulence or transformation. Boeing has appointed Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering, placing him at the centre of financial strategy for its worldwide engineering and technology operations.
Based in Bengaluru, Barun steps into a role that is as expansive as it is critical. He will serve as the primary finance lead for Boeing’s Engineering and Technology Centers globally, working closely with executive leadership to shape financial decisions, manage complex budgets, and design scalable finance processes that support the company’s growing engineering footprint.
In a note announcing his move Barun said, “I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Boeing Global Engineering. This opportunity is incredibly meaningful to me not just from a professional standpoint, but also for what Boeing represents globally.” He added that he looks forward to contributing to an organisation that continues to shape the future of aerospace and innovation.
Barun’s mandate spans strategic financial leadership, operational oversight, and stakeholder engagement. From directing large-scale budgets and schedules to influencing long-term organisational goals, the role blends financial discipline with business foresight. He will also lead cross-functional teams and partner with finance colleagues worldwide to support engineering programmes across geographies, including India.
The appointment caps a long stint at Juniper Networks, where Barun spent over a decade, most recently as finance senior manager. There, he led FP&A for global product business units and G&A functions, driving budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning. He also played a key role in enterprise-wide transformation, including spearheading an Oracle to SAP ERP migration and building advanced analytics capabilities using tools such as Tableau and SAP Analytics Cloud.
His earlier career includes finance leadership roles at Sony India Software Centre, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and Mphasis, where he focused on financial planning, governance frameworks, and operational efficiency across global delivery centres.
A chartered accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Barun brings nearly two decades of experience across financial planning, digital transformation, and analytics-led decision making.
His appointment comes at a time when global engineering operations are becoming increasingly complex and distributed, requiring sharper financial oversight and agile planning. With Barun at the helm of FP&A for engineering, Boeing appears to be tightening its financial playbook as it looks to scale innovation with discipline.
