Ram Gopal Varma says industry may “pray at Tirupati and Vaishno Devi” for a film to break Dhurandhar’s record

-

Ever since the release of Dhurandhar on December 5, 2025, followed by its sequel Dhurandhar The Revenge, the action spy duology directed by Aditya Dhar has continued to receive strong responses from audiences. Along with fans, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has been among the most vocal supporters of the duology and its growing box office momentum.

Ram Gopal Varma says industry may “pray at Tirupati and Vaishno Devi” for a film to break Dhurandhar’s record

Now, reacting to the film’s record-breaking performance, Ram Gopal Varma suggested that the industry may look towards upcoming big releases such as Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown Ups to challenge the dominance of Dhurandhar: The Revenge at the box office.

Ram Gopal Varma on Toxic breaking Dhurandhar 2 record

Speaking to NDTV, Ram Gopal Varma said, “Annoyed isn’t the right word, but they won’t like it, because all those folks will band together to pray at Tirupati and Vaishno Devi so that their film can break Dhurandhar’s record. Now, that’s their only lifeline. Your saviour thing is only that now. So I think everyone will pray to God for Toxic to shatter Dhurandhar’s record. And I’m not saying Toxic like that, I mean that kind of filmmaking style.”

Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown Ups was earlier scheduled to release on March 19 and was expected to clash with Dhurandhar The Revenge. The possible box office face-off had generated significant interest across the trade and among audiences.

However, the makers of Toxic later postponed the release due to tensions in the Middle East. The sequel to Dhurandhar continued its run unaffected, as the film had not been released in Gulf territories.

Ram Gopal Varma defends Dhurandhar amid propaganda debate

Earlier, Ram Gopal Varma also responded to criticism, describing the Ranveer Singh starrer as propaganda. He said every filmmaker presents a perspective shaped by research and personal understanding, and that differences in interpretation are natural. According to him, cinema often reflects individual viewpoints, and audiences engage with those perspectives in different ways.

Strong box office run continues

Meanwhile, Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues its strong theatrical performance. The film recorded an impressive hold on Tuesday following its historic Monday collections. According to early estimates, the action entertainer registered only a marginal drop and collected around Rs. 54 crore on Tuesday, taking its six-day total close to Rs. 557 crore.

Vedang Raina has reacted on the comparisons with debutant Ahaan Panday, whose latest film Saiyaara has become a runaway success at the box office. He also spoke about his upcoming project with Imtiaz Ali. The internet is on fire with comparisons of you and the Saiyaara actor Ahaan Panday I haven’t gotten the chance to watch it yet, but I do want to watch it soon. Have heard great things. I think everyone has their own journey and there have been visual comparisons with many people as soon as I stepped into the industry. I’m very happy for this success, though. Makes me a believer. When do you start shooting for your film with Imtiaz Ali? I’m starting shoot for the project next month, but the major bulk of it will happen in October and November. It’s my only focus right now. My sole purpose is to do justice to my part and to the fact that I’m working with one of the great directors of our time. Have you signed anything else? I haven’t signed anything off...

The question every fan of the Family Man franchise is asking: when is The Family Man 3 streaming? Manoj Bajpayee has now confirmed that the much-awaited third season of the massively popular Amazon Prime series will begin streaming in the last week of October or the first week of November. “The shooting is complete,” Bajpayee shared. “When we started, we had no idea The Family Man would go this far. Is it the most popular work I’ve done? I would say, most definitely, yes. Although I’ve done some other excellent series on OTT, like Abhishek Chaubey’s Killer Soup , the reach of The Family Man has gone beyond anything I’ve experienced.” The actor is confident that Season 3 will match — if not exceed — expectations. “All I can say at this moment is that those who loved Seasons 1 and 2 won’t be disappointed. If the highlight of Season 2 was Samantha, then Season 3 belongs to Jaideep Ahlawat. What a fine actor! I love working with actors who are as dedicated to getting it right as I a...

The moment I heard it’s his film, I said yes—I’m in.” Aamir also shared a nostalgic throwback to the early ‘90s, “I worked with Rajni Sir long back in a film called Aatank Hi Aatank .
