New Delhi:
As the film industry and fans continue to praise Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2, the latest star to join the bandwagon is Kangana Ranaut. The Emergency actor took to her Instagram Stories and called Aditya Dhar a “superstar filmmaker.”
What Kangana Said
In her Instagram Stories, Kangana Ranaut wrote, “The best thing about Dhurandhar’s success is that Aditya Dhar, @adityadharfilms, a superstar director, is established. Hollywood superstar directors are always far bigger than superstar actors. Eg: Spielberg, Tarantino, Nolan (sic).”
She spoke about the struggles of filmmakers in India who are overworked and underpaid.
“Here is a superstar filmmaker shining brighter than any hero. Today, so many youngsters are watching his story who will aspire to be like him and take the film industry to greater heights!! Salutations, sir @adityadharfilms (sic),” concluded Kangana Ranaut.
