Director Ram Gopal Varma keeps voicing his fandom for the ‘Dhurandhar’ series and its sequel, spotlighting filmmaker Aditya Dhar. Following a recent hangout with Dhar and his actor wife Yami Gautam, Varma uploaded their photo to social media, hailing the two as a “power couple.” On X (previously Twitter) this Sunday, he pointed out striking similarities between Dhar and Ranveer Singh‘s Hamza role in the franchise.
Aditya Dhar as real Hamza
In the film, Hamza appears as a ruthless spy eliminating Pakistani foes, and Varma hinted that Dhar wields a comparable commanding influence in real-life cinema through his directorial prowess. 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?”.
‘Dhurandhar 2 ’ game-changer
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.
