Mr. X is Tamil Cinema’s Answer to Dhurandhar: Seriously?

Kollywood actor Arya’s upcoming action thriller Mr X, directed by Manu Anand, is set for a worldwide theatrical release on April 17th. With only a few days left, the team has intensified promotions through interviews and public events.

In a recent interview, Manu Anand said Mr X has some similarities with Dhurandhar. He explained that the story is presented in chapters and draws from real-life incidents in India. This statement has quickly gone viral online.

Following the comment, social media users have shared mixed reactions. Some believe success will silence criticism, while failure could trigger trolling. The comparison has also increased curiosity and added to the film’s pre-release buzz among audiences.

At the trailer launch event today, Manu Anand clarified his earlier remark. He stated that Mr X is not Dhurandhar and should not be compared directly. He added that while minor similarities exist, both films remain distinct in their approach.

The recently released trailer of Mr X has received positive responses from viewers. Many have described it as a strong action spy thriller. Audiences have also appreciated the technical quality and visuals, calling them close to Hollywood standards.

With the viral statement and favourable trailer feedback, Mr X is generating decent pre-release attention. Expectations are steadily rising ahead of its release. It remains to be seen whether the film meets audience hopes and achieves box office success.
