Filmmaker Siddharth Anand recently voiced strong opposition to remarks made by comedian Zakir Khan concerning the film Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Anand defended the enduring legacy of the Mumbai film industry, particularly highlighting the significant contributions of the Juhu-Bandra area over the past five decades.
Anand's social media post served as a rebuttal to Khan's perceived implication that the industry harbored jealousy over the film's success. He asserted that dismissing the efforts of the Juhu-Bandra film community would be a display of ignorance.
The controversy originated from Khan's jokes at an awards show, where he suggested an envious undercurrent within the industry regarding Dhurandhar: The Revenge's performance.
Actor Ameesha Patel echoed Anand's sentiment, cautioning against negativity and noting the consistent success of numerous leading actors in delivering blockbusters.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, has achieved considerable box office success and generated significant industry discussion.
