Gaurav Gera praises Ranveer Singh's discipline and on-set involvement in Dhurandhar: The Revenge Actor Gaurav Gera has spoken about his experience of working with Ranveer Singh in Dhurandhar: The Revenge, highlighting the latter’s approach to performance and presence on set. In a recent interaction with India Today, Gera described Ranveer as someone deeply invested in his work. “Ranveer is a superstar for a reason, he is so good at what he does. He’s extremely organised and fully immersed in the character. He takes a keen interest,” he said, pointing to the actor’s focused preparation. He also spoke about Ranveer’s involvement during scenes, even when he wasn’t required to be actively present. “He didn’t have to be there for cues in my scenes, which often happens on shoots. But he stayed back and remained present throughout. That’s just how he is—completely involved with the film,” Gera added. Recalling a lighter moment, Gera mentioned their earlier ‘Chutki-shopkeeper’ act that recently resurfaced online amid the film’s buzz. He shared that Ranveer instantly recognised him on set. “He tapped my shoulder and said, ‘How are you, Chutki?’ I was surprised because I had a beard and looked quite different, but he still remembered,” he said. Gera also noted a shift in Ranveer’s on-screen approach over time, especially while playing Hamza in the film. “He’s grown a lot as an actor. There’s a certain calmness in his performance here, which is very different from how people u... #Singh #Gaurav #Dhurandhar #Ranveer_Singh #Ranveer #Revenge #Singh_discipline #Gaurav_Gera #Revenge_Actor #Actor_Gaurav

Bombay High Court urges amicable settlement in Aditya Dhar-Santosh Kumar dispute over Dhurandhar The Revenge script The Bombay High Court on Thursday indicated that the defamation suit filed by writer-director Aditya Dhar against Santosh Kumar over plagiarism allegations related to Dhurandhar 2 – The Revenge should not escalate further. Justice Arif Doctor suggested that both sides try to resolve the matter amicably. The court observed that disputes of this nature can often be resolved without escalating into extended defamation litigation. Court advises restraint in public allegations The case began after Santosh Kumar publicly claimed that the script of the sequel was copied from his earlier work. Aditya Dhar denied the allegation and called the claims defamatory. He then approached the High Court seeking relief. During the hearing, Justice Doctor said that if Kumar believes his intellectual property was copied, he is free to pursue civil remedies through proper legal channels. However, the court made it clear that such concerns should not be raised through public statements in the media. The court also noted that disagreements over authorship can be addressed through structured legal procedures rather than public exchanges. Counsel clarifies position on authorship claim Kumar’s advocate told the court that his client’s grievance was limited to asserting authorship of the story. The court acknowledged that Kumar is entitled to make such a claim. At the same time, it... #High_Court #Court #Aditya_Dhar #Dhurandhar #Revenge #Bombay_High #Bombay #Santosh_Kumar #Revenge_script #urges_amicable

Several single-screen cinemas yet to open bookings for Bhooth Bangla from April 17 due to show-sharing dispute with Dhurandhar The Revenge The horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla was scheduled for release on April 10, but it was pushed by a week after it failed to secure the desired number of shows amid the Dhurandhar The Revenge wave. The makers, as well as the industry at large, hoped that with Bhooth Bangla releasing on April 17, there would be no issues with regard to showcasing. However, that’s not the case. Less than 24 hours remains for the release and yet, most of the single screens are yet to commence bookings. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “Jio Studios has requested that Dhurandhar The Revenge be allotted 50% showcasing in single screens. Their argument is that the film continues to perform well and still has a lot of gas left in the tank. The fact that it collected Rs. 6. 50 crores on Tuesday has further strengthened their case for retaining shows. On the other hand, Bhooth Bangla’s distribution team has requested full showcasing. They believe that Dhurandhar The Revenge has already enjoyed a dream run for four weeks and that it is now time for their film to get its fair share of shows. Moreover, they have cited ticket sales for the paid previews and the overall advance booking trends to argue that Bhooth Bangla, too, has the potential to succeed, as there is clearly demand for it. ”Bhooth Bangla will have paid previews from tonight, Thursday, April 16. ... #Dhurandhar #Bhooth_Bangla #April #Bangla #Bhooth #horror-comedy_Bhooth #Revenge_wave #single-screen_cinemas #show-sharing_dispute #desired_number

“Truth started getting labelled as propaganda”: Sandeep Reddy Vanga DEFENDS Dhurandhar duology; Aditya Dhar REACTS! Months after the release of Dhurandhar in December 2025 and its sequel, Dhurandhar The Revenge, on March 19, 2026, the Aditya Dhar-directed duology continues to remain part of industry conversations.

You don’t get to call yourself liberal if your first instinct is to Mock. Don’t know when truth started getting labeled as propaganda. . . . . . strange times. ”He further added, “I want to tell @AdityaDharFilms & @RanveerOfficial yeh kaala drishti aise nahi jaayega. . . Muthi bhar ke laal mirch se kaam nahi chalega. . . . poora khet jalana padega / Watched #Dhurandhar2TheRevenge last night. . . .

Aditya Dhar vs Santosh Kumar Row: Legal action looms over Dhurandhar 2 script theft allegations A fresh controversy has erupted in the film industry, with filmmaker Aditya Dhar and writer Santosh Kumar at the centre of a growing legal dispute over alleged script theft related to Dhurandhar 2 aka Dhurandhar The Revenge. The matter has now taken a serious turn, with both sides preparing for legal action while publicly presenting contrasting claims. According to a source quoted by Hindustan Times, Aditya Dhar has already responded through his legal team and is considering further steps. “Aditya Dhar has already issued a notice to Santosh Kumar through his legal team, refuting the allegations and requesting him to refrain from making false claims. Despite the aforesaid, since Santosh continues to make baseless allegations, Aditya is in the process of initiating appropriate legal proceedings against him. "However, Santosh Kumar has strongly refuted the claim that a formal legal notice was issued. He maintained that the communication received was merely a response to his email and alleged that he was being pressured to stay silent. “It is not a notice, it is just a reply on my mail. They were harassing me, that I should not complain and that I am defaming them for my publicity. I told them I am going legal, so don’t send me messages, come to court," Santosh Kumar reportedly told the media. The writer further claimed that he attempted to reach out to the filmmaker and associa... #Santosh #Aditya_Dhar #Dhurandhar #film_industry #Dhar #Santosh_Kumar #script_theft #aka_Dhurandhar #Kumar_Row #theft_related

Fact Check: John Abraham has NOT spoken against Dhurandhar franchise One major disadvantage of social media is that it can become a tool for spreading fake news. This mostly happens through memes and image posts that go viral and are considered the Gospel Truth. There are times when a celebrity is attributed with a quote he or she never said in memes. The same is happening with John Abraham right now. Since recent times, a meme where John has been quoted criticizing Dhurandhar has gone viral in no time. It quotes the actor saying, “Movies like Dhurandhar and The Kashmir Files can sometimes lead people in the wrong direction, and it’s scary to see them being welcomed by so many. I would never produce films like that. ”Once the post got viral, the supporters of Dhurandhar have been slamming John while those who are against the movie are hailing him for showing guts to speak his mind. However, the truth is that John hasn’t made any such comment against Dhurandhar. In fact, he hasn’t said anything about Dhurandhar in the media or any public space. If you search for his statement on the internet, you won’t find a single news publication to have reported this. Apart from memes on various social media pages, you won’t find this comment anywhere. It is clear that this meme is created by someone who wanted to make a post viral or maybe malign Dhurandhar. Just imagine – in case John had slammed Dhurandhar in real, almost every news publication would have carried the quote as b... #John #Dhurandhar #John_Abraham #Check #Dhurandhar_franchise #Fact_Check #major_disadvantage #spreading_fake #Gospel_Truth #Abraham

EXCLUSIVE: Dhurandhar The Revenge makers correct mirror goof; revised prints sent to cinemas Dhurandhar The Revenge has been loved for its subject, storytelling, performances, music, massy moments, well-etched characters and of course, the peak detailing by the master, Aditya Dhar. A few days after its release, a minor goof in the film came to light. In a crucial scene just after the intermission, Hamza aka Jaskirat Singh Rangi (Ranveer Singh) gets into a fight with Gurbaaz Singh aka Pinda (Udaybir Sandhu) in a palatial bathroom. Though there’s lots happening in the sequence and the tension is at an all-time high, an observant moviegoer noticed that the reflection of the cameraman is visible in one shot. A screenshot of the moment was widely circulated on social media. Bollywood Hungama has now learned that the makers have rectified this blunder. A trade source told us, “Cinemas across the country were sent revised prints of the film and were told to screen them with immediate effect. Some theatres received the new print on Saturday, while others got it on Sunday. ”The source continued, “In this new print, the cameraman can no longer be seen in the mirror’s reflection. When you are delivering such a mammoth film, you need to take care of countless aspects. Once in a while, mistakes do happen. Even in Hollywood films, one can spot many such goofs. It’s praiseworthy that Aditya Dhar and team got the mistake corrected.

Prasanth Varma’s Mahakali to also release in Hindi following Akshaye Khanna’s popularity after Dhurandhar Akshaye Khanna is being very selective after Dhurandhar, as he used to be even before his resurrection. In his next release Mahakali, Akshaye Khanna plays Shukracharya, a manipulative sage, marking his entry into Tollywood. The film, part of the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU), is directed by Puja Aparna Kolluru. Said producer Prashanth Varma, “We had signed Akshaye Sir much before Dhurandhar. He is the highlight of Mahakali. ”Varma intends to highlight Akshay Khanna’s presence in the North Hindi speaking belt. Earlier, the plan was to release Mahakali in Telugu only. But now after Dhurandhar, there will be a Hindi version highlighting Akshaye Khanna in the marketing.

SCOOP: How Dhurandhar 2’s show-count pressure forced Bhooth Bangla out of April 10; Akshay Kumar film now eyes April 17 Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan's next, Bhooth Bangla, which was scheduled to arrive on April 10, has now been delayed to April 17. This has spiked a huge conversation in the industry, as many are questioning the move. While the delay is attributed to the historic business of Dhurandhar 2, Bollywood Hungama has dived into the real reason for the postponement. A source told Bollywood Hungama, "The distribution head of Jio Studios, Deepak Sharma has told the multiplexes to pull back the KDM of Dhurandhar 2 in the fourth week if they don't promise 10,000 shows to the film in the release week of Bhooth Bangla. He has taken this in writing from the exhibitors, and given the historic run, no one was willing to take the risk of missing out on a single penny of Dhurandhar 2. "The makers of Bhooth Bangla were fighting till the last minute to get a respectable release from April 10. "The Bhooth Bangla team contended that Dhurandhar 2 would have earned Rs. 1,000 crores by April 10, and all they wanted was a release that almost all mid-sized Akshay Kumar films get. But the Jio Studios distribution head had given a strict instruction to the exhibitors. It's the game of power, and with a project like Dhurandhar, the studio and its head are looking to establish themselves as the #1 distributor in India. The multiplex association had no option but to agree to all the ... #Akshay_Kumar #Dhurandhar #Bhooth_Bangla #Bollywood_Hungama #April #Bhooth #forced_Bhooth #eyes_April #show-count_pressure #pressure_forced

Deepak Tijori criticises CBFC over inconsistent censorship in Dhurandhar 2 Actor-director Deepak Tijori has raised concerns over censorship practices in the theatrical release of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, questioning what he describes as inconsistencies in how abusive language is handled across platforms. In a recent statement, Tijori criticised the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for “half-muting” cuss words in the film’s theatrical version. He said he was unable to understand the rationale behind partially censoring expletives instead of either muting them completely or leaving them intact. “I genuinely don’t understand this, why mute half the abuses and let the other half stay?” he remarked, adding that the approach appears arbitrary. The filmmaker also pointed out that the film has already been granted an adults-only certification, questioning the purpose of such partial censorship. “Who exactly are we protecting here? And from what, half a word?” he said, highlighting what he views as a lack of clarity in the guidelines. Tijori further flagged what he termed a “double standard” in censorship between theatrical and digital releases. He noted that while the cinema version features muted language, the same film is later released on OTT platforms without such alterations. “The same film releases on OTT completely unmuted, exactly as it was meant to be,” he said, suggesting that this undermines the logic of theatrical cuts. According to him, this discrepancy ... #Dhurandhar #Deepak #Central_Board #CBFC #raised_concerns #Actor-director_Deepak #Deepak_Tijori #criticises_CBFC #Tijori_criticises #Tijori

EXCLUSIVE: Bhooth Bangla team contemplates postponing release from April 10 to April 17 due to Dhurandhar The Revenge wave Dhurandhar The Revenge is doing record business and the way it has held strongly on Monday proves that the film will not lose its hold even in the weekdays. As a result, the team of Bhooth Bangla have begun contemplating whether they should bring the horror comedy on April 10 or whether it should be postponed by a week. ”“A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The way Dhurandhar The Revenge is performing, it is clear that the craze is not going to die down anytime soon. Bhooth Bangla also looks like an exciting film. But since Dhurandhar 2 is doing historic business, there’s a strong possibility that it could perform exceptionally well even in its fourth week, which coincides with the release of Bhooth Bangla. Meanwhile, there’s no Hindi film currently scheduled for release on April 17. ”The source added, “At the same time, Dhurandhar The Revenge would have exhausted most of its business by the end of four weeks. Hence, it could also work in Bhooth Bangla’s favour to arrive on April 10, by when most people would have already seen the Ranveer Singh-starrer. Therefore, lead actor and producer Akshay Kumar and producer Ekta Kapoor are closely analyzing the situation and will take a call within the next 24 hours. ”The source continued, “If Bhooth Bangla arrives on April 10, the makers plan to release the much-awaited theatrical trailer on Friday, March 27. ... #Dhurandhar #Bhooth_Bangla #April #Bangla #Revenge #Bhooth #Monday_proves #Revenge_wave #wave_Dhurandhar #contemplates_postponing

R Madhavan clarifies Dhurandhar The Revenge controversy over Dasam Granth scene: “We stand with the entire Sikh community” Dhurandhar The Revenge has once again landed in controversy after a Shiv Sena leader filed a complaint objecting to a scene featuring R. Madhavan. The objection concerns a sequence in which Madhavan’s character, Intelligence Bureau Director Ajay Sanyal, is seen around the time he recites lines from the sacred Dasam Granth. The complainant has alleged that the portrayal hurt Sikh religious sentiments and showed disrespect towards Guru Gobind Singh and Gurbani. Responding to the concerns, Madhavan shared a clarification video on Instagram, stating that there was a misunderstanding regarding the scene and that no disrespect was intended. R Madhavan issues clarification In the video message, Madhavan thanked audiences for the support received by the film’s team and addressed the controversy directly.

Netflix and Amazon taught India to binge and Dhurandhar 2 taught Bollywood how to cash in on it Let’s be honest: 3 hours 49 minutes is a ridiculous runtime on paper. This is not a breezy popcorn watch. This is not a “let’s catch a quick evening show” movie. This is a commitment. You’re booking tickets, finding parking, surviving multiplex chaos, standing in snack queues, and then sitting through the length of what is essentially two regular Bollywood films stitched together. By every old school theatrical rule, Dhurandhar 2 should have been in trouble. And yet, it isn’t. In fact, the most interesting thing about Dhurandhar 2 is not that it is nearly four hours long. It is that audiences are sitting through every single minute of it. Not restlessly. Not reluctantly. But willingly. That tells you something important: cinema in India is quietly changing, and most people haven’t even noticed it yet. The old runtime rule is deadFor years, the industry treated runtime like a landmine. Anything above 2 hours 30 minutes invited panic. Trade experts worried about fewer shows per day. Exhibitors worried about occupancy. Audiences were assumed to have vanishing attention spans. Filmmakers were told to trim, tighten and rush. Then comes Aditya Dhar, who seems to have looked at all those warnings and casually said: what if the problem was never length, but laziness in storytelling?That is the real provocation of Dhurandhar 2. Dhar reportedly shot nearly seven hours of mater... #Netflix #Amazon #Bollywood #Dhurandhar #hours #Amazon_taught #taught_Bollywood #taught_India #taught #ridiculous_runtime
