Sandeep Reddy Vanga praises Dhurandhar 2 team
Sandeep began his note by slamming those who claim that Dhurandhar 2 is propaganda, instead writing that it’s factual. He wrote, “Writers & actors built careers on propaganda, and the industry stayed quiet like cats. Now the same clan mock Dhurandhar. You don’t get to call yourself liberal if your first instinct is to Mock. Don’t know when truth started getting labeled as propaganda…… strange times.”
He then warned Aditya and Ranveer against the evil eye, writing, “COMING TO THE POINT…..I want to tell @AdityaDharFilms & @RanveerOfficial yeh kaala drishti aise nahi jaayega… Muthi bhar ke laal mirch se kaam nahi chalega…. poora khet jalana padega (This evil eye cannot be removed easily. A handful of red chillies won’t be sufficient, you’ll have to burn down a crop). Watched #Dhurandhar2TheRevenge last night…. Outstanding film.”
Aditya replied: “Mere Pyaare Sandeep (My dear Sandeep), I genuinely love the way you stand your ground and give it back when it matters. There’s a real honesty and belief in that and it’s something I truly respect. I’ve always looked up to how you back your cinema without any doubt or noise.”
He added, “That kind of conviction reminds all of us to trust our voice and just go for it. Give my love to the Legend Prabhas sir! Big love and all the best for Spirit. Really looking forward to it. And if there’s ever anything I can do, I’d genuinely love to help a brother. Thanks again!”
This comes a day after Sandeep and Prabhas were spotted by fans watching Dhurandhar 2 at Allu Cinemas. Numerous people posted pictures and videos of the duo looking engrossed as they watched the film on screen. They even stood near the exit and kept watching what looked like the post-credits scenes after the film was done.
About Spirit and Dhurandhar
Sandeep, whose last film Animal was a massive success, is now shooting for Spirit with Prabhas and Triptii Dimri. Interestingly, Ranveer’s wife, actor Deepika Padukone, was initially supposed to star in the project, but she was replaced by Triptii.
Amid reports of Deepika parting ways due to differences over working hours and a few scenes, Sandeep had written, “When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100% faith. There is an unsaid NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, You’ve ‘DISCLOSED’ the person that you are….” He also slammed ‘dirty PR games’ that he claimed were being played. The film is slated for release on March 5, 2027.
Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge have become two of the most successful Hindi films. The former has grossed over ₹1300 crore worldwide, while the latter has crossed ₹1600 crore. Sara Arjun, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and others play key roles in it.
