New Delhi - Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has sparked a controversy by stating that the Indian film industry is ignoring his latest favorite, 'Dhurandhar', because it poses a threat to the status quo. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the Ranveer Singh-starrer espionage drama has taken the box office by storm, earning over ₹600 crore since its release in December. Varma, known for his cult hits like 'Satya', 'Rangeela', and 'Kaun', took to social media to express his views on the film industry's reluctance to acknowledge 'Dhurandhar'. He accused the industry of feeling threatened by the film's unique storytelling and exceptional production quality. The filmmaker also criticized the recent trend of pan-Indian movies, which he believes are trying to appeal to a broad audience by relying on familiar formulas. Varma argued that these films are ultimately doomed to fail, as they lack the originality and innovation that 'Dhurandhar' has brought to the table. 'Dhurandhar' has not only broken box office records but has also generated significant buzz and discussion in the industry. Varma believes that the film is a wake-up call for the industry, forcing filmmakers to re-examine their own work and strive for excellence. The ensemble cast of 'Dhurandhar', which includes Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and Soumya Tandon, has further added to the film's appeal. As the industry continues to grapple with the success of 'Dhurandhar', one thing is clear - the film has left an indelible mark on the Indian film landscape.
