Aajakia’s remarks arrive amid continued debate surrounding the Dhurandhar franchise. While the makers are blamed for the subtle propaganda, supporters maintain that the storyline draws inspiration from real criminal networks and intelligence operations. The franchise follows an Indian undercover operative navigating dangerous terror and crime ecosystems. Led by Ranveer Singh, the two films have become massive box-office successes, collectively grossing over Rs 3,100 crore worldwide. Following its theatrical run, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is set to premiere in its extended “Raw and Undekha” version on JioHotstar on June 4.
