Ram Gopal Varma Meeta Aditya Dhar & Yami Gautam

Earlier, Varma met Aditya Dhar, and his wife actress Yami Gautam. The Satya maker took to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle and dropped a photo of himself posing with the couple.

Posting the photo on X (formerly known as Twitter), on Sunday, Varma drew a comparison between the on-screen character Hamza, portrayed by Ranveer Singh in the Dhurandhar franchise, and Dhar himself.

While Hamza is shown as a fierce spy taking down Pakistani enemies in the film, Varma suggested that Dhar is having a similarly powerful impact in the real world of cinema with his filmmaking skills.

He wrote, "ME with the POWER COUPLE. The reel HUMZA @RanveerOfficial destroyed the Pakistani terrorists and the real HUMZA @AdityaDharFilms is destroying the Indian film makers. Terrorists can run to save their lives,but where will film makers run to save their films from his brilliance?"

Dhurandhar 2 has received widespread praise from across the industry as well. Actors and filmmakers including Alia Bhatt, Kartik Aaryan, Allu Arjun, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ayushmann Khurrana, Arjun Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Rajkummar Rao, Mahesh Babu, Vijay Deverakonda, SS Rajamouli, and Anupam Kher have lauded the film.
