What Alia said about Dhurandhar 2
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Alia shared a still from the film featuring Ranveer, and wrote, “Jaskirat Singh Rangi and this moment… is everything (red heart emoticon). The magic of the director and the actor in complete sync!”
(spoiler alert) The scene in question comes at the very end of the film, when Ranveer's character returns to India to meet his family after years. The camera stays on his face (as he begins to cry) as he realises what he must do for the sake of his family's well-being.
She went on to add, “Congratulations Team Dhurandhar for this historic run at the movies!”
Earlier, Alia’s production house, Eternal Sunshine Productions, had congratulated the first film, Dhurandhar, for scripting history. The post read, “It’s the voice of today’s India. It’s the choice of today’s India. It’s based on a chapter in history. And now it’s the number one chapter in India’s cinema history. Cheers to Dhurandhar. And three cheers to the ENTIRE team. You not only created waves —you brought the high tide back to the theatres. If this is what part one did in winter, imagine what part two will bring in spring!!!”
Alia and Ranveer have co-starred in two films- Gully Boy and Rocky Aur Rani kii Prem Kahaani.
