Other Filmmakers Praising Dhurandhar
Recently Kunal Kohli too opened up about how he many top directors had initially told him that Dhurandhar won't work.
Kunal Kohli told Screen, "Even when the industry doesn't support a film, the film still works. Nobody supported Dhurandhar. The biggest directors I spoke to said, 'Monday ko baith jayegi. Monday ko aur chal gayi' (It will stop performing from Monday. But instead, it started working better from Monday)."
He continued, "Nobody supported Border 2. People said second week mein thoda baith gayi (It's done Rs 300 crore plus). What are you saying! That's a blockbuster. End of discussion. It doesn't matter if the industry supports you or not."
