New Delhi, Jan 19 (.) Director Ram Gopal Varma has predicted that the upcoming film ‘Dhurandhar 2’ will become Bollywood’s biggest “multi-starrer” movie, following the massive success of its first installment.
Taking to X, Varma explained that the actors from the first film have now become major stars, amplifying the scale and appeal of the sequel.
“Dhurandhar 2 will be the biggest multi-starrer ever, in the history of cinema, because each and every character in the 1st film has become enormously huge in the audience’s mind, in terms of both their value and impact, which is what true stardom is really about. In the 1st part the characters could have been small or big, but now all of them have become giant superstars and hence Dhurandhar 2 will be the Biggest Multi Starrer ever,” Varma wrote.
The first film, Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar’, has rewritten box office records, surpassing ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ to become the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time.
According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film crossed Rs 831.40 crore in its fifth week, overtaking the lifetime collection of Allu Arjun’s blockbuster.
“This is The biggest moment in the History of Hindi film business. Till not long ago, surpassing the lifetime business of ‘Pushpa 2’ Hindi seemed unthinkable. But records are meant to be challenged… and shattered – and Dhurandhar has done exactly that,” Adarsh wrote on X.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the first installment stars Ranveer Singh in the lead, supported by an ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan. The sequel, ‘Dhurandhar 2’, is slated for release on March 19, continuing the two-part franchise.
