Actor Saumya Tandon, known for her role in Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, has clarified her recent comments that were misinterpreted as a jab at the YRF spy universe. In a recent social media exchange, Saumya defended Dhurandhar against allegations of misogyny, stating that the film's portrayal of women is respectful. When a fan pointed out the film's male-dominated cast, Saumya responded by saying that the women in the film are not objectified or shown as one of many wives, as might be expected in a different type of story. She also added that the film's gritty tone didn't allow for the typical glamorous heroines found in other types of films, like romance movies with beach scenes. Saumya clarified that her comment about 'heroines on beaches' was not a dig at the YRF spy universe, which includes films like Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, and Pathaan. She expressed her appreciation for different types of films, including romance movies with beach scenes, but explained that Dhurandhar simply didn't fit that mold. Dhurandhar is a spy action thriller that draws inspiration from real-life events, exploring the geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan in the early 2000s. The film stars Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, and Saumya Tandon, and is set to be released in theatres on March 19, 2026, as Dhurandhar 2.
