This noted filmmaker fuels Dhurandhar 2 buzz: ‘If part one scared them, sequel will...'

Dhurandhar didn’t just arrive in theatres, it roared in, shattered records and rewrote the rules of mainstream Hindi cinema. Even months after its release, the frenzy around the film refuses to die down. And if one voice continues to amplify the Dhurandhar phenomenon, it is filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who now claims that the upcoming sequel will push boundaries even further.

Taking to X on Monday, Ram Gopal Varma made a dramatic statement about the sequel. He wrote that the “fireball” of the so-called South cinema invasion into Bollywood was “kicked back” by Dhurandhar, and that Dhurandhar 2 is now gearing up to strike harder. According to RGV, “If the first scared them, the second will terrify them,” a remark that has instantly reignited excitement around the project.

While the makers and cast have remained tight-lipped about details of the sequel, RGV’s post has created fresh buzz and speculation among fans.

‘A Threat to Formulaic Cinema’

This is not the first time Varma has praised Dhurandhar. Following the release of the first film, he described it as a “monstrous hit” that threatened the industry’s comfort zone. In an earlier post, he said such path-breaking films are often ignored by insiders who feel threatened by standards they cannot match.
