Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma lauds 'Dhurandhar', calling it a groundbreaking film that intimidates industry veterans. He believes its success challenges outdated filmmaking templates, urging creators to rethink their methods. 'Dhurandhar' has become one of the highest-grossing Indian films, showcasing a stellar cast and setting new industry standards.

Renowned filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has hailed the release of 'Dhurandhar', stating that its groundbreaking nature poses a threat to seasoned industry professionals who feel overshadowed by its success.
