14 Apr
Summary
- Ranveer Singh starred with father-in-law Prakash Padukone in a new ad.
- The ad subtly references Dhruv Rathee's criticism of 'Dhurandhar' films.
- The 'Bavandar: The Tornado' poster links to Rathee's 'Operation Bhavandar'.

Ranveer Singh has generated significant online buzz with his latest advertisement, which features him alongside his father-in-law, former badminton legend Prakash Padukone. This marks their first on-screen collaboration. The commercial cleverly incorporates personal references, including a nod to Padukone's celebrated career and Singh's role as a father.
However, a key talking point among viewers is a perceived subtle critique of YouTuber Dhruv Rathee. A movie poster within the ad, titled 'Bavandar: The Tornado,' is being linked to Rathee's earlier videos where he discussed films related to 'Dhurandhar.' Rathee had previously labeled these films as propaganda.
Fans have actively engaged with these details on social media, noting the layered humor. Beyond the commentary, the ad also includes endearing moments like Ranveer affectionately calling Padukone 'Pappa' and a scene at an ice cream shop referencing his 'girl dad' status. Meanwhile, 'Dhurandhar 2' has achieved major box office success, crossing Rs 1000 crore domestically and Rs 1300 crore globally.
