Javed Akhtar has come out in support of Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 after online backlash over “propaganda” claims. He argued that every story carries a viewpoint and filmmakers are entitled to share their version of truth. The comments follow the film’s roaring box-office run, now among India’s biggest worldwide performers, overtaking Baahubali 2 in buzz.
Rakesh Bedi responded to reports that he received a Rs 1 crore bonus for Dhurandhar 2, saying the money hasn’t reached his account and he doesn’t know “kiski jeb mein hai.” While the buzz turned out to be false, his portrayal of Jameel Jamali has drawn praise and helped the film cross Rs 1,100 crore at the box office.
