Bollywood actor Yami Gautam has been garnering praise for her performance since Haq premiered on OTT. Now, if reports are to be believed, the actor is all set to make a special cameo in husband and filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Fans have been reacting strongly to the reported development.
Yami Gautam’s cameo in Dhuandhar 2
On February 3, sources told Pinkvilla that Yami will be seen in an important role in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The source said, “Yami’s role is action-packed and extremely crucial to the narrative. She has already shot for nearly five days, and though it’s a cameo, it’s an important part that will leave the audience amazed.” Previously, Yami has worked with Aditya Dhar on Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dhoom Dhaam and Article 370.
The report soon surfaced on Reddit, where users shared mixed reactions. One Reddit user joked, “Yeh script ki nahi, ghar ki demand thi (This was house’s demand not script).” Another commented, “This is also a type of nepotism—casting his wife in his films and her brother as the editor, and promoting him during launches.” Another wrote, “Kind of expected. Yami basking in nepo wife privileges.” A user questioned, “No comments on nepotism now?”
However, some fans defended the casting. One wrote, “Totally deserved. There’s nothing wrong with using connections.” Another commented, “In Dhurandhar credits, it mentioned ‘special thanks’ to Yami Gautam, so it was obvious she would have a cameo.”
