As per trade buzz, Dhurandhar is all set to become the highest grossing Hindi film, beating Chhaava and Stree 2.

Vanga said that he would be able to make Arjun Reddy remake in Hindi with much more freedom due to the censor board's relaxed rules and a non conservative point of view of audiences when it comes to bold films. When asked which actor he would prefer making the remake with, he named Ranveer.

Vanga did go on to make Arjun Reddy remake in Bollywood. Titled Kabir Singh, the 2019 release starred Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani in the leading roles. Despite continuing criticism over the depiction of toxic masculinity, it emerged as the highest grossing film of the year. After Kabir Singh, Vanga made Animal with Ranbir Kapoor, which was a blockbuster hit. He will also work on the film's sequel - Animal Park. Meanwhile, the director is currently busy with the shoot of his cop action film Spirit featuring Prabhas, Triptii Dimri and Vivek Oberoi.
