Ameesha Patel Reacts To Dhurandhar 2 Success: 'Aditya Dhar Casted Actors, Not Instagrammers'

As Dhurandhar 2 continues to win praise across the industry, Ameesha Patel has now shared her take, calling the film a much-needed reminder of what cinema should be.

Taking to her X handle, the actress called the film an "eye opener" and applauded filmmaker Aditya Dhar for focusing on storytelling over trends. 

She wrote, "Eye opener. Industry Praising DHURANDHAR is wow and the brand deserves all the accolades, industry needs to realise that ADITYA made a film and not a project, casted actors and not instagrammars who trend at parties, stop making projects and and start making films."

Ameesha is not alone in her appreciation. Several prominent voices from Bollywood, including Ram Gopal Varma, Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra, Ayushmann Khurrana and Riteish Deshmukh have also praised the Dhurandhar franchise and its team.

The film has received equal admiration from the South film industry. Stars such as Rajinikanth, Jr NTR, Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu, SS Rajamouli and Nagarjuna Akkineni have also been lauding the film after watching it.
