Filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, which hit theatres in December, is continuing to make waves long after its release. The Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna starrer has now won the admiration of actor Raveena Tandon. Raveena has confessed that she was so impressed by the film that she called Aditya’s wife and actor Yami Gautam to say “sorry” to her.
Raveena recalls reaction after watching Dhurandhar
Raveena recently joined the Zoom Spotlight podcast session, where she opened up about her reaction after watching Dhurandhar and revealed why she felt compelled to call actor Yami Gautam soon after.
She revealed that she called Yami to say sorry and even asked her to share her attention with Aditya.
Raveena said, “I saw Dhurandhar and I called Yami Gautam and said, ‘I am sorry. I am the biggest fan of your husband. You have to share my attention with your husband because I think he is completely it.’ He completely brought back what was missing. The audience got satisfaction after seeing films like Pushpa, KGF, Dhurandhar and more. They felt like the hero was looking like a hero. It is coming back to your country, its problems and dealing with it. Hero is coming out as a hero.”
During the chat, Raveena was told that Ranveer Singh has confessed that he is one of her biggest fans. The actor was amused by it. “He was a 10-year-old when he came to see me doing a sensuous song. I loved him in Dhurandhar. Aditya is a genius. He is beyond the word mind blowing. Sanjay and Akshaye were so outstanding. Sara was so brilliant. Rakesh Bedi sir and Gaurav Gera were amazing,” Raveena added.
