Aditya Dhar’s spy-thriller film ‘Dhurandhar’ is being appreciated everywhere. Meanwhile, director of the upcoming film ‘Ikkis’ Shriram Raghavan has said that ‘Dhurandhar’ is not his type of film. The director even said that he does not want to follow Aditya Dhar’s style and making films like ‘Dhurandhar’ would be the biggest foolishness for him.

During an interview with The Hindu, Sriram Raghavan was asked how Dhurandhar was different from the spy films made by him and his brother Sridhar Raghavan. On this ‘Ikkis’ Direct said – ‘This is a great film with great acting, but it is not our kind of film.’

‘This would be the most stupid thing to do…’
Shriram Raghavan said- ‘We have to understand that we are living in a different era. The early James Bond films starring Sean Connery and Roger Moore were entertaining. Later, the Bond films started getting serious. Dhurandhar is a different kind of film. It is performing brilliantly, and it should be so. But this is not the only format. If I start following it, it will be the most stupid thing to do.

Said this on Aditya Dhar’s style
During this, Shriram Raghavan also talked about the prolific director Aditya Dhar. He said- ‘Aditya and I shared the National Award stage when he made Uri and I made Andhadhun. His sensibility and art is different and I like watching his films, but this is not something I would make.

How was your work experience with Dharmendra?
Shriram Raghavan further shared his work experience with late actor Dharmendra. He said- ‘There was no trace of acting with Dharam ji. I mean, his movements, his style, everything was part of the character. He was deeply connected to the story. The pain of leaving his home in Punjab had been ingrained in his body for years. The thought of returning home became a very personal experience for him, he was completely immersed in the character.

Dharmendra’s lines used in ‘Ikkis’
Regarding Dharmendra, the director further says- ‘He had a deep understanding of dialogues and he gave importance to less use of words. I gave him dialogues, but always asked him how he would like to say them. He used to make some changes from his side and I have used many of his lines. We often discussed his poems. I wanted his poems to be published, but he was in no hurry. I requested him to sing one of his compositions for the film and it was very lovely.

About twenty one

Let us tell you that Dharmendra’s last film ‘Ikkis’ is going to be released on January 1, 2025. Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda is making his Bollywood debut with this film. Apart from this, Jaideep Ahlawat and Simar Bhatia will also be seen in the film.

Well-known Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar has recently appeared quite impressed after watching Ranveer Singh’s film ‘Dhurandhar’. Karan openly praised this film and said that this film forced him to question his own filmmaking abilities. Karan believes that this is one of those films which forces you to think.

Storytelling and direction won hearts
During a conversation at the book launch of Anupama Chopra’s book ‘Dining with Stars’, Karan Johar said that the biggest strength of ‘Dhurandhar’ is its storytelling.

The film does not seem over anywhere and every scene progresses in a very natural manner. He especially praised the film’s director Aditya Dhar and said that he did not try to show himself off with his direction but kept the story at the forefront.

Ranveer Singh’s strong performance
Karan also told that Ranveer Singh has done an amazing job in the film. He said that Ranveer’s performance is so strong that you are unable to take your eyes off him. The actor has completely immersed himself in his character which is clearly visible in every scene. The balance of action, emotion and drama seen in the film is what makes it special.

Educational film for filmmakers
Karan Johar admitted that when a film is made at this level, other filmmakers start re-evaluating themselves. He said that this is a good thing for an artist because it gives an opportunity to learn and gives inspiration to do better work in future.

Getting positive response from audience and industry
Talking about ‘Dhurandhar’, the film is getting positive response from both the audience and the industry. The story, action sequences and music of the film are also being liked a lot. Many celebs have already praised the film and now Karan Johar’s name has also been added to this list.

Stars like Ranveer Singh, Akshay Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun are in lead roles in the film. The second part of the film is to come in March 2026. Aditya Dhar’s wife and actress Yami Gautam has talked about this film. He said that the script of the film is very excellent. Along with this, Yami has also reacted about working in the film.

Did Yami Gautam want to work in Dhurandhar?

Talking to News 18, Yami Gautam said, ‘When I was reading its next script, I told him that there are many moments in it when I felt that I would have been a boy. The script is fantastic. This is an amazing world.

Along with this, Yami again said that she keeps personal and professional life separate. He said, ‘With respect, I have no expectations. We respect professional life. I don’t think the line should be blurred. We are absolutely clear about this.

Yami said, ‘If he is writing a part and he feels that someone else is suitable for it, then I am absolutely fine with it. This understanding has been there between us since the beginning.

It is known that Yami Gautam married Aditya Dhar in 2021. He had kept the marriage private. In May 2024, Yami gave birth to son Vedvid. Yami is maintaining a good balance between personal and professional life.

The film ‘Dhurandhar’, directed by Aditya Dhar, was released on December 5 and the opening day collection was Rs 28 crores. This opening day collection was not a record collection at all because many such films were released before this whose first day earnings were much higher than this.

For example, apart from ‘Jawaan’ and ‘Pathan’, there are many films like ‘Chhaava’ which made huge profits on the opening day. But as the days progressed, ‘Dhurandhar’ started storming the box office.

Even the makers of the film would not have expected this which ‘Dhurandhar’ is doing now. The film joined the list of top 5 highest grossing films of all time.

The story did not end here. Now the film seems to be the first Hindi film which can also come in the top 3 in this list. Before this, the top 4 grossing films were from South only. Whose record now seems to be broken.

‘Dhurandhar’ will snatch the crown of highest grossing films from South films

In the list of top 5 grossing Indian films of SACNILC, the first 4 films are from South. After this, the name of Ranveer Singh’s film comes at number 5. See the list below-

• Pushpa 2- 1234.1 crores
• Baahubali 2- 1030.42 crores
• KGF 2- 859.7 crores
• RRR- 782.2 crores

Now whether ‘Dhurandhar’ will be able to break the records of ‘Pushpa 2’ and ‘Baahubali’ or not, it can be estimated by looking at the earnings of the coming weekdays. But looking at the speed of the film, it seems that it may soon push both ‘RRR’ and ‘KGF 2’ back in the list.

Let us tell you that this film with Akshay Khanna’s tremendous swag has made a great collection of Rs 1031.50 crore worldwide in 23 days.
