New Delhi, March 24 Superstar Rajinikanth said Aditya Dhar's latest directorial, "Dhurandhar: The Revenge," is a "must-watch film."
The film, released on March 19, has already crossed the Rs 700 crore mark at the global box office. Featuring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, the film is a sequel to Dhar's 2025 release, "Dhurandhar," which earned over Rs 1000 crore at the global box office.
Rajinikanth shared a post on his X handle on Monday. "What a film… #Dhurandhar2!!! Aditya Dhar, you are the king of the box office! Many congratulations to Ranveer and the entire cast and crew. This film is a must-watch for every Indian. Jai Hind," he wrote.
Dhar expressed his gratitude to the superstar and said Rajinikanth's words for his film made it the "biggest moment" for him.
"Sir, we've all grown up measuring 'entertainment' with just one benchmark: YOU. You make us whistle, laugh, cry, and feel like we are living a larger-than-life existence for decades, and you still do it with the same swag and grace. That's pure magic," Dhar wrote in response to the actor.
"So, for you to call 'Dhurandhar 2' a 'must-watch' feels like the biggest 'superstar' moment in my life. It feels like a blessing from the person who taught us all to dream bigger. Thank you, Sir. This film is going straight to my heart. Jai Hind," he added.
Actors R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi are reprising their roles in the latest film.
Set in the Lyari town of Karachi, an area known for its history of gang wars and violent turf battles, "Dhurandhar" revolves around covert intelligence operations against the backdrop of geopolitical and terror events like the Kandahar plane hijack, the 2001 Parliament Attack, and the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
The sequel charts the rise of Singh's character, Hamza Ali Mazari, in the Karachi underworld, while also delving into his origins as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, tracing the journey of the young man who eventually transforms into a covert operative.
"Dhurandhar: The Revenge" is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar, and released in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.
