Dhurandhar
2 aka Dhurandhar The Revenge has crossed Rs 1500 crore at the box office worldwide. Ranveer Singh’s spy drama is getting abundant love from the masses across the world. However, some sections of people have been calling the Aditya Dhar-directed film a ‘propaganda’. Hirav Mehta, who played a crucial role in Dhurandhar 2, has slammed the people for calling his film a propaganda one. He even opened up about Dhurandhar 2’s success and said that it is hard to digest the reality. It has to be noted that Hirav Mehta is now fondly called, 'India’s Best Driver' after his famous scene of killing SP Chaudhary Aslam, played by Sanjay Dutt.
Hirav Mehta On People Calling Dhurandhar 2 ‘Propaganda’
During a candid chat with us, we asked Hirav Mehta about people calling Dhurandhar 2 a ‘propaganda film’. He said, “I think Aditya Dhar sir has already clarified this earlier. Personally, I also feel the film is not against any particular country, individual, or group. It’s against terrorism, and I strongly believe in that. The film shows the reality of terror attacks on India and what happens behind the scenes. Sometimes people find it hard to digest reality, and that’s why they give it a negative label, which isn’t true.” So, Hirav is clearly upset with people judging the film on the basis of its content and giving a political connect to it. When asked about his experience working with Aditya Dhar, the actor called him one of the best directors of the world.
Hirav said, “He is one of the best directors out there, very humble and grounded. His briefings are excellent, and the way he speaks to every actor makes you feel equal. Whether he’s talking to Ranveer Singh sir or to me, the approach is the same. That’s the most amazing thing about him.”

I got the call, and yes, the rest is history.”
Hirav is a fitness freak. His amazing workout videos and pictures often go viral on social media. When asked if he had received anything special from his fan after the film’s success, he said, “Yes. I actually have two accounts. One is Muscle Mehta, which is my fitness page, and the other is Hirav Mehta for acting. On my fitness page, we’ve transformed over 1500 clients, and we now have 1.9 million followers. It’s one of the fastest-growing fitness pages on Instagram. My acting account had about 20,000 followers before the film, and within 12 days, it grew to 90,000. That shows how much love the audience is giving. I get amazing messages every day.
