Director Ram Gopal Varma keeps voicing his fandom for the ‘Dhurandhar’ series and its sequel, spotlighting filmmaker Aditya Dhar.

He wrote, “ME with the POWER COUPLE. The reel HUMZA @RanveerOfficial destroyed the Pakistani terrorists and the real HUMZA @AdityaDharFilms is destroying the Indian film makers 🙏 Terrorists can run to save their lives, but where will film makers run to save their films from his brilliance?”. Lately, Varma dubbed it a game-changer for Indian cinema, noting its power to intimidate makers of exaggerated "masala" films packed with overblown action and superhuman heroes. He commended Ranveer for playing a realistic, imperfect human lead, one who bleeds, hurts, and isn't idolized like a deity. Varma added that this realistic storytelling and action will render traditional cinema, with its phony stunts, impossible fights, and "invincible" protagonists obsolete. ‘Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge’ is the sequel to the 2025 hit ‘Dhurandhar’, directed by Aditya Dhar with Ranveer Singh reprising his role as fierce spy Hamza Ali Mazari, a realistic hero who bleeds and hurts, alongside Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, and others. It was produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios on a massive scale shot in India and Thailand. Released March 19, 2026, it went pan-India in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
