2 has given everyone the opportunity to speak, as both fans and critics are debating over the blockbuster. As the film continues to dominate the box office, filmmaker Aditya Dhar has found strong support from fellow director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film, led by Ranveer Singh, has drawn massive audiences but at the same time stirred conversations around its themes, with some viewers labelling it 'propaganda.' Amid the ongoing discourse, a warm exchange between Dhar and Vanga has shown that the two directors are united in their aim to make films that resonate with them, irrespective of online criticism.

The conversation began after Sandeep Reddy Vanga watched Dhurandhar 2 in Hyderabad alongside Prabhas. Sharing his thoughts, the Kabir Singh director strongly defended the film against criticism. He called out what he described as hypocrisy within the industry, pointing out that those who once thrived on similar narratives are now quick to dismiss Dhurandhar 2 as propaganda. Vanga expressed frustration over how differing perspectives are often labelled instead of being debated thoughtfully.

In his candid post, Vanga praised the film as “outstanding” and even offered a dramatic, tongue-in-cheek piece of advice to Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh on warding off negativity. He wrote, "I want to tell @AdityaDharFilms & @RanveerOfficial yeh kaala drishti aise nahi jaayega... Muthi bhar ke laal mirch se kaam nahi chalega.... poora khet jalana padega."Take a look:
