Deepika Padukone Reacts As Fans Slam Her Silence On Dhurandhar 2: 'I Watched It Before Any Of You Did'

Deepika Padukone has finally reacted to trolls questioning her silence on Ranveer Singh’s latest blockbuster film, Dhurandhar. Recently, a video was shared on Instagram which asked Deepika about her ‘no posts, no praise’ approach for the Aditya Dhar directorial. “Is this a deliberate statement or is the internet reading too much into celebrity social media silence?” the man in the video asked.

The caption of the post also read, “Deepika Padukone just gave the silent treatment to a ₹500 crore budget. While Dhurandhar 2 shatters global records, Deepika skipped the premiere to hit a sitar concert with her in-laws instead. No posts, no praise, just silence. Is she making a statement against the director or just dodging the internet’s favourite drama?”

While the video was shared on social media on March 23, Deepika reacted to it on Tuesday night (April 7) and wrote, “The latter my friend…P.S. I watched it way before any of you did 😉Now who is the joke on? 🤭” Check it out here:

About Dhurandhar 

Directed by Aditya Dhar, this spy action thriller continues from where the first film ended. We get to witness Ranveer’s character arc in more depth, along with the story of his original identity, Jaskirat Singh Rangi. The film also features Arjun Rampal as ISI Major Iqbal, R. Madhavan as Ajay Sanyal, Sanjay Dutt as SP Choudhary, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi in important roles. Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has also crossed Rs 1000 crore at the box office worldwide.

Dhurandhar Part 1 was released on Netflix, but a change has been made for Part 2. Dhurandhar: The Revenge will be released on JioHotstar. The OTT platform has reportedly signed a deal worth Rs 150 crore with the filmmakers, a figure that is exactly double the amount paid for the first instalment. Although an official release date has not yet been announced, industry norms suggest that a film typically arrives on OTT platforms within eight weeks of its theatrical release.
