Anupam Kher Lauds ‘Dhurandhar 2’ Success
Dhurandhar 2 has been on a bumper run at the box office, shattering records and winning praise from viewers and celebrities alike. The spy thriller, starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, took just seven days to scale the ₹ 1000-crore mark worldwide. Actor Anupam Kher has once again spoken highly of the film and shared via news agency ANI that people who use terms and labels like ‘propaganda’ to define cinema should not be taken into account.
He added, “Whether cinema can change people, yes, it can. It depends on individuals sitting in the dark auditorium, but it’s also a business. It’s like any other business. Many people run channels as a business; they don’t do it just to tell a story. But if I am going to see a film, I may get something out of it.”

The film also stars Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun in lead roles, along with Danish Pandor, Udaybir Sandhu and others in key roles. It also features a cameo by Aditya Dhar’s wife and actor Yami Gautam.
