'Rahul Gandhi' Is Dhurandhar's Executive Producer: Meme Fest Over Viral Claim

After premiering on Netflix on January 30, Dhurandhar has sparked fresh conversations online, with many viewers criticising the streaming version of the film. However, what truly caught netizens’ attention

this time was something they had missed during its theatrical run. While watching the opening credits, viewers noticed the name 'Rahul Gandhi' listed as an executive producer of the film, an observation that quickly sent social media into a frenzy.As soon as the name surfaced, platforms were flooded with memes and humorous reactions, with many users assuming it referred to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The coincidence led to widespread jokes, playful speculation, and viral posts linking the political figure to the film industry.One user wrote, “Watched Dhurandhar once again on Netflix just to find out that Rahul Gandhi is executive producer of this movie. Always knew Rahul Gandhi is the biggest nationalist, man just believe in keep quiet and let work speak.”

Another commented, “Watched #Dhurandhar on Netflix after all those reels. Quality? NOT GREAT. But finished it. At 17:01, saw the credit -Executive Producer: Rahul Gandhi. ‘Ek Din Aayegi Aisi Sarkar Jise Desh ki Fikar Hogi’ And ofc Aditya Dhar knew -just Rahul Gandhi’s name, and BOOM! Everyone’s TALK.”A third user added, “OMG #RahulGandhi was behind #Dhurandhar, I am feeling proud as a Congress supporter.”Clarifying the confusion, Congress MP and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has no association with Dhurandhar as an executive producer. The name mentioned in the credits belongs to a different Rahul Gandhi, a senior film producer who has worked on several notable projects, including The Family Man, Lucky Baskhar, Vedaa, Farzi, Rocket Boys, Rustom, among others.Despite the clarification, the internet had its moment. Social media platforms such as X and Instagram were filled with what users called “gold” memes and hilarious reactions.Meanwhile, Dhurandhar continues to enjoy massive success. The film has reportedly shattered box office records and emerged as a blockbuster. Starring Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, and Sara Arjun, the film remains a hot topic among netizens. The makers have also announced a second part, scheduled for release on March 19, keeping the buzz firmly alive.
