Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga recently defended the Aditya Dhar-directed duology, Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar The Revenge, which premiered in December 2025 and March 2026 respectively. Vanga attended a screening in Hyderabad and later posted on social media, criticizing industry members who mock the films. He stated that truth is being unfairly labeled as propaganda.

Audiences have lauded the films for their focus on the personal sacrifices and challenges faced by spies, moving away from spectacle-driven storytelling. The films continue to be a topic of discussion among filmmakers and actors well into April 2026.
