PRAISING ADITYA DHAR, ABHISHEK AGARWAL’S REMARK SPARKS SPECULATION
Two-time National Award-winning producer Abhishek Agarwal, best known for backing impactful films like The Kashmir Files , Karthikeya2 and The Bengal Files, has lauded filmmaker Aditya Dhar for his work on Dhurandhar 2, calling it a significant moment for Indian cinema.
Taking to social media, Agarwal shared his admiration for the film’s opening response, writing, “It’s not just a wave — it’s a tsunami at the box office. The opening of Dhurandhar 2 feels like a celebration for Indian cinema. Words fall short.”
He further highlighted what he believes sets Dhar apart in today’s landscape. “What stands out is his quiet conviction. In an era full of noise, he lets the work speak — and it’s roaring. He’s a true producer’s director who understands both vision and risk. Very few directors truly understand a producer’s challenges and still deliver their best.”
Speaking about the scale of the project, Agarwal added, “After mounting a film of this scale, ‘best of luck’ feels too small. Only Aditya can surpass Aditya.”
He also acknowledged the strong backing behind the film, appreciating Jio Studios and Jyoti Deshpande for supporting what he described as a fearless vision.
Praising the film’s ensemble cast, Agarwal expressed confidence in their performances, naming Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi and R. Madhavan, noting that each brings intensity and depth to the screen.
He also gave a special mention to composer Shashwat Sachdev, adding, “I haven’t watched the film yet, but I’m confident his music will elevate the entire cinematic experience.”
Signing off, Agarwal applauded the entire team, calling the film more than just cinema. “This is not just cinema, it’s a statement. Looking forward to watching it tonight.”
Agarwal’s note also echoes his own journey as a producer known for backing strong, content-driven cinema. His film The Kashmir Files, directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, went on to create a nationwide impact driven largely by word-of-mouth, reinforcing his belief in letting the work speak for itself.
