Kangana Ranaut praises Aditya Dhar for Dhurandhar 2’s success
On Saturday, Kangana took to Instagram and shared a message expressing her happiness about the film’s success. She wrote, “The best thing about Dhurandhar’s success is that Aditya Dhar, @adityadharfilms, a superstar director, is established. Hollywood superstar directors are always far bigger than superstar actors. Eg: Spielberg, Tarantino, Nolan. We never give our filmmakers enough respect or credit.”
She then went on to talk about how directors in India are not given enough recognition and said, “They are overworked, underpaid and bullied by superstars. As a result, I never meet any young person—insider or outsider—who dreams of becoming a filmmaker, director of photography or any other technician. Everyone claims to be talented, but they only want to be actors. Here is a superstar filmmaker shining brighter than any hero. Today, so many youngsters are watching his story who will aspire to be like him and take the film industry to greater heights!! Salutations, sir @adityadharfilms.”
Apart from her, S. S. Rajamouli also praised Aditya for “hitting it out of the park” with Dhurandhar 2, while Rakesh Roshan commended him for “starting a new era of filmmaking” with his latest release. The director also received applause from stars like Ram Charan, Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun, among others.
