Filmmaker Details Why Tollywood Cannot Make A Film Like Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar On ₹260 Crore Budget: We Lack Planning, And The Production...

Tollywood filmmaker and screenwriter BVS Ravi has spoken extensively on the argument in the favour of Dhurandhar. Lauding the success of the franchise, he shared that the movies are a phenomenon unlikely to be repeated ever again, especially in the Telugu film industry. He argued that Tollywood can ever manage to make a big-scale movie like Dhurandhar in the budget used by Aditya Dhar.

In an interview with Gulte, BVS Ravi shared, “Look at Dhurandhar, he (Aditya) made an 8-hour film. How hard he must have worked and how much he must have researched. He tried hard to make it logical. What is the theme that he has built? What is the number of people who have trusted and believed in his vision? How did he convince the producer to spend that kind of money?” 

He added, “If you put it aside creatively, I think Dhurandhar is the beginning of the end of regular producers. It is known that the film was made on a budget of ₹260 crore for both parts. With Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna and other people. Out of the world fights, look at the locations. They put up a set in Bangkok, but it still cost them that. We begin our films at the cost of ₹500 crore.”

BVS Ravi also mentioned that it is not the actors who are at fault. He concluded by saying, "The mistake is not with the heroes. Maybe they come late to the sets by an hour, that’s it. We lack planning, and the production timelines get extended here. Everything is about planning.”

Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the sequel to last year's Dhurandhar, has shown remarkable performance at the box office. The Ranveer Singh headliner has breached the ₹1000 crore mark in India. Dhurandhar franchise marks Aditya Dhar's second directorial venture after his National Award-winning debut Uri: The Surgical Strike, which starred Vicky Kaushal. The second features a powerful lineup including Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt, with a cameo appearance by Yami Gautam.
