Dhurandhar 2: Ram Gopal Varma says Ranveer Singh, Aditya Dhar's sequel will be 'biggest multi-starrer in history of cinema'

Headlined by Ranveer Singh and helmed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2 has become the most-awaited film in Indian cinema. The sequel will see Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjun, Danish Pandor, and Gaurav Gera reprising their famous roles from the first part, and even though Akshaye Khanna gets killed in the Dhurandhar climax, he will return in the key flashback sequences. The 2025 spy thriller not just became one of the biggest Indian blockbusters, it also became a nationwide phenomenon with debates around its propagands, hilarious reels, and thunderous audiences reactions dominating the social media for more than a month. In fact, the first part is still running in theatres in its seventh week.

Ram Gopal Varma calls Dhurandhar 2 "biggest multi-starrer ever"

Now, acclaimed veteren filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has said that Dhurandhar 2 will be the "biggest multi-starrer ever in the history of cinema." The Satya director has showered praises on the film's performances and Aditya Dhar's direction multiple times ever since the first part hit theatres on December 5. On Sunday, January 18, Varma took to his X handle and wrote, "Dhurandhar 2 will be the biggest multi starrer ever in the history of cinema because each and every character in the 1st film has become enormously huge in the audiences mind, in terms of both their value and impact, which is what true stardom is really about. In the 1st part the characters could have been small or big but now all of them have become giant super stars and hence #Dhurandhar2 will be the BIGGEST MULTI STARRER ever."
