Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has once again grabbed attention, this time for his strong reaction to Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. After watching the film, he posted on X (Twitter) and called it “outstanding.” But along with the praise, he also took sharp shots at certain people in the industry.
In his post, Vanga said that some writers and actors built their careers on “propaganda,” and now the same people are mocking Dhurandhar 2. He also blasted the so-called liberals while praising the film.
As expected, the internet reacted strongly, and opinions were clearly split.
A huge section of social media supported Vanga. They said he spoke his mind without fear. A few also pointed out that he praised a film connected to Ranveer Singh despite past issues involving his wife, Deepika Padukone.
On the other side, many slammed him as well. They felt he was deliberately creating controversy to stay in the spotlight. Some said he uses such provocative language to trigger people and remain in headlines. Many questioned why he could not simply praise Dhurandhar 2 without dragging others into it.
Many people feel that after the success of Dhurandhar, Aditya Dhar has become a favorite among audiences and industry circles. The same section that once supported Sandeep Reddy Vanga is now shifting its attention toward Aditya Dhar. People have started forgetting his film Animal, and Dhurandhar has become their new favorite. Because of that, some believe Sandeep Vanga made those strong comments to pull the focus back onto himself. By creating a controversial statement, he ensured that discussions on social media revolve around him instead of Dhar. In simple terms, they see it as a calculated move to stay in the spotlight and remain relevant during Dhar’s peak moment.
In simple terms, Sandeep Vanga praised a film but also attacked others. Some see him as bold and honest. Others see him as unnecessarily controversial. Many feel he is provoking sections of people without any real need, which could backfire.
Right now, he may be at his peak and might feel the audience is firmly on his side. But phases change quickly. One flop film and people will drag you down. Someone like Ram Gopal Varma is a reminder of how fast someone can become irrelevant in the industry and would only be remembered for the trolls.
