RGV calls Aditya Dhar “real Hamza,” crushing Indian filmmakers’ old ways after meeting him and Yami Gautam— dubbing them “power couple.” He lauds Dhurandhar 2’s realistic hero Ranveer Singh, ditching masala tropes. The March 19 pan-India hit stars Ranveer, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt.
Director Ram Gopal Varma keeps voicing his fandom for the ‘Dhurandhar’ series and its sequel, spotlighting filmmaker Aditya Dhar. Following a recent hangout with Dhar and his actor wife Yami Gautam, Varma uploaded their photo to social media, hailing the two as a “power couple.” On X (previously Twitter) this Sunday, he pointed out striking similarities between Dhar and Ranveer Singh’s Hamza role in the franchise.
Aditya Dhar as real Hamza
In the film, Hamza appears as a ruthless spy eliminating Pakistani foes, and Varma hinted that Dhar wields a comparable commanding influence in real-life cinema through his directorial prowess. He wrote, “ME with the POWER COUPLE. The reel HUMZA @RanveerOfficial destroyed the Pakistani terrorists and the real HUMZA @AdityaDharFilms is destroying the Indian film makers 🙏 Terrorists can run to save their lives, but where will film makers run to save their films from his brilliance?”.
‘Dhurandhar 2’ game-changer
Lately, Varma dubbed it a game-changer for Indian cinema, noting its power to intimidate makers of exaggerated “masala” films packed with overblown action and superhuman heroes. He commended Ranveer for playing a realistic, imperfect human lead, one who bleeds, hurts, and isn’t idolized like a deity. Varma added that this realistic storytelling and action will render traditional cinema, with its phony stunts, impossible fights, and “invincible” protagonists obsolete.
