Dhurandhar Has RGV’s DNA? J.D. Chakravarthy Explains

Satya, Shiva, and Company are not just films they are milestones in Indian cinema. At that time, the raw realism and groundbreaking filmmaking served as an eye-opener for many filmmakers. It has opened up a new path for many filmmakers to explore the depth. Decades after their release, these classics continue to influence filmmakers across generations.

J.D. Chakravarthy’s recent interview brought the topic back onto the board. J.D. Chakravarthy revealed that the initial idea for Dhurandhar came from Satya and Shiva. J.D. Chakravarthy stated that Major scenes from Dhurandhar were inspired by Satya and a couple of scenes were even lifted from Shiva.

J.D. Chakravarthy revealed that Aditya Dhar himself told Ram Gopal Varma that Dhurandhar was inspired by Satya and Shiva. According to J.D., Aditya Dhar admitted that he took the essence of those classics and blended it with a patriotic backdrop to create his own film.

That doesn’t mean Dhurandhar is a remake of Satya, but it clearly carries the DNA of RGV’s gritty crime dramas in its visual language, character design, and storytelling rhythm.

For many, this isn’t about copying classics but acknowledging them. It also underlines the lasting impact of RGV‘s finest works, which the Ace director missed in recent times.
