Aditya Dhar has been recognized as one of the nation's most acclaimed filmmakers since the release of his 2019 film, Uri: The Surgical Strike. However, when Dhurandhar hit theaters a few months back, the director secured a lasting place in the audience's hearts. The nation was thrilled after seeing the film featuring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, with fans, celebrities, and critics praising the spy thriller. Now, actor Raveena Tandon has also expressed her admiration. In a recent interview, the Tip Tip Barsa Paani star shared what she told Aditya's actress wife, Yami Gautam, after watching Dhurandhar.
In a Zoom Spotlight podcast, Raveena Tandon mentioned Dhurandhar, saying, 'I watched Dhurandhar and immediately called Yami Gautam to express my admiration for her husband. I told her, ‘I am sorry, but I am a huge fan of your husband. You'll have to share my admiration with him because I believe he is exceptional.’ He truly revived what was missing. Audiences felt fulfilled after watching films like Pushpa, KGF, Dhurandhar, and others. They appreciated seeing the hero portrayed as a true hero. It's about returning to your country, addressing its issues, and the hero emerging as a hero.'
Discussing lead actor Ranveer Singh, who is among her greatest admirers, Raveena mentioned, “He was just 10 years old when he watched me perform a sensual song. I adored him in Dhurandhar. Aditya is a mastermind, surpassing the term mind-blowing. Sanjay and Akshaye were exceptional. Sara was incredibly impressive. Rakesh Bedi sir and Gaurav Gera were fantastic.” Raveena is referring to her song Tip Tip Barsa Paani. When Ranveer was 10, he visited Raveena and her co-star Akshay Kumar on set during the song's filming.
Audiences are now excitedly anticipating the highly awaited sequel of Dhurandhar, named Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Featuring Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun alongside Ranveer and Akshaye, the movie is scheduled to compete with Rocking Star Yash’s Toxic in cinemas on March 19.
