‘Dhurandhar 2’ has now become the joint-fastest Indian film alongside Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ to enter the Rs 1,000 crore club in worldwide collection. The film is expected to surpass the lifetime collection of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ and ‘Jawan’ by the end of this week.
On Thursday morning, ‘Dhurandhar’ director Aditya Dhar urged fans to not fall prey to misinformation. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “I am deeply grateful & indebted for the overwhelming love that Dhurandhar The Revenge has received from audiences across the country and the world. However, it has come to my attention that certain individuals are circulating manipulated visuals, by morphing officially released promotional material using artificial intelligence to create false and misleading narratives. One such fabricated image falsely depicts the character Hamza/Jaskirat smoking while wearing a turban. This is completely untrue and does not form part of the film or any official material released by us. It is a deliberate act of misrepresentation intended to provoke and create mischief.”
“Let me state this unequivocally: I hold the highest respect for the Sikh community, and every portrayal in the film has been handled with utmost sensitivity, dignity, and responsibility. Any attempt to suggest otherwise through any doctored content is malicious and dishonest. I urge audiences to rely only on official content and watch the film as it is intended, and not fall prey to AI-generated misinformation being circulated with ulterior motives. Such acts will be dealt with firmly,” he added.
Earlier, a Mumbai-based Sikh organisation had raised objections to the images of Ranveer Singh's character smoking while in a turban and also a scene where R Madhavan's character was seen reciting verses from Guru Granth Sahib, which they said happened while he was smoking.
R Madhavan then issued a clarification, saying Aditya Dhar was very careful during the filming of the scene and that his character put out the cigarette before saying those lines.
Speaking of ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, the film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Danish Pandor, Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun. ‘Dhurandhar 2’ serves as both a sequel and an origin story for Ranveer Singh’s character, Hamza Ali Mazari (also known as Jaskirat Singh Rangi). The plot follows the Indian spy as he continues his mission to dismantle a terror network in Pakistan that threatens Indian security.
