Mukesh Chhabra Criticises 'Unnecessary' Negative Reviews Of Dhurandhar

Before Dhurandhar's release, the film's casting director, Mukesh Chhabra, had also criticised the negative reviews, indirectly addressing social media users who questioned the lack of heavy promotions and the cancellation of press screening, dismissing claims that the film was average as the reason behind it.

Mukesh took to his official X handle (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote, "How amazingly it has turned out. I’ve been reading so many unnecessary negative reviews, and honestly, it’s very funny. I was there as one of the HODs of the film. They even had to cancel the cast and crew screening because of a technical glitch. Kya log hain… kisi ne film dekhi bhi nahi, but negativity ke liye ready hain. Haha."

He added, "Phaad degi box office! Can’t wait for the magic."

Dhurandhar Cast

The film features Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi, among others.
