Yami Gautam Says Dhurandhar Success Hasn’t Changed Her Or Aditya Dhar: 'Extremely Thankful To God'

Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar has created history at the box office with its massive collection. Netizens have been going gaga over its story and music. Recently, Yami Gautam has opened up about her success, sharing her belief that strong storytelling remains the key to a film’s impact. Reflecting on the response to the project, the actor said that the film’s performance only reinforces what she has always believed — “it was always about scripts.”

In a recent interview with Grazia, Yami Gautam said, “Nothing has changed us as people. That also comes from Aditya, and the kind of person he is, very unaffected and extremely humble. I’ve seen him through different phases; there are highs and lows and vulnerable phases, but it’s not like during that phase we

expressed our frustration or let it out. Both of us are extremely thankful to God, for us spirituality is very important, we believe in the Almighty. Good things happen to good people. What’s meant for you may be delayed but never denied.”

Dhurandhar

Dhurandhar Part 1 and 2 has ruled the box office, and now while Part 2 of the movie continues its successful run in India. The first instalment of the spy thriller, which hit theatres on December 5 worldwide, managed to make a strong mark. The film garnered a strong response at the box office, earning a total of Rs. 1328+ crores worldwide when it released globally. Dhurandhar is the first part of a two-film series. The story follows an Indian spy who infiltrates Karachi’s criminal and political underworld. The narrative draws from real geopolitical events, including the 1999 IC-814 hijacking, the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, the 2008 Mumbai attacks, and Operation Lyari. The film features a large ensemble cast led by Ranveer Singh, along with Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt. Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjun, and Danish Pandor appear in key supporting roles. The story of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge follows Jaskirat Singh Rangi, played by Ranveer Singh, as he evolves into the fearsome Hamza Ali Mazari. After defeating mobster Rehman Dakait in the first film, Jaskirat has become firmly embedded in Karachi’s underworld, earning the nickname “Sher-e-Baloch.” Sara Arjun portrays Yalina, Hamza’s wife. The sequel goes deeper into his past, showing how Ajay Sanyal, played by R. Madhavan, recruited him for the risky assignment. The plot focuses on his attempt to dismantle criminal networks and the financial backbone of terrorist operations, resulting in a psychological war with the mastermind. As tensions escalate, Major Iqbal, portrayed by Arjun Rampal, and SP Chaudhary Aslam, played by Sanjay Dutt, band together to track him down, setting up a dramatic encounter.
