While many leading South Indian stars lauded the film, actor Prakash Raj questioned the motives behind their endorsements, sparking an online debate.

South Stars Praise the Film

Soon after the film’s release in theaters, actors such as Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu, Vijay Deverakonda, Ram Charan, and Jr NTR took to social media to commend Dhurandhar 2. They praised director Aditya Dhar’s vision, Ranveer Singh’s performance, as well as the film’s storytelling and music. Their positive comments helped generate buzz around the movie, increasing its visibility across different regions.

Prakash Raj Questions “Obligations”

However, actor Prakash Raj stirred controversy by responding to these endorsements. In a reply on X, he suggested that such praise might be motivated by “obligations” rather than genuine appreciation. His remark quickly gained attention, prompting many to debate whether celebrity reviews are always sincere or if they are influenced by industry relationships and pressures.

Mixed Reactions from Industry Voices

Adding to the controversy, actress and former politician Ramya also voiced her disappointment with the film. She called Dhurandhar 2 a “propaganda film” and criticized its direction, storytelling, and overall execution. Her strong critique stood in stark contrast to the praise from other stars.

Meanwhile, several Bollywood celebrities, including Ananya Panday, Kartik Aaryan, and Sidharth Malhotra, shared positive reviews. Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar even suggested that Ranveer Singh deserves a National Award for his performance. With such divided opinions, Dhurandhar 2 has become one of the most discussed releases, illustrating how films today can evoke both admiration and controversy simultaneously.
