Looks like Jawan direct Siddharth Anand didn’t like Zakir Khan‘s joke as he took a dug at the entire Bollywood over Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar The Revenge success. The debate around Dhurandhar just got more intense as filmmaker Siddharth Anand reacted to comedian Zakir Khan’s recent remark that has been making waves online.
Zakir Khan had earlier joked about the film’s success, with his comment “Dhurandhar se sabki jalti hai” going viral across social media. While many took it in good humour, it seems the remark didn’t sit well with everyone in the industry.
Siddharth Anand, known for backing big-ticket Bollywood films, reportedly hit back at the comment, calling it a “duffer” remark. He also defended the film fraternity often referred to as the “Juhu-Bandra circle,” highlighting their long-standing contribution to blockbuster cinema.
His response has now added fuel to an already growing conversation within the industry. While some people have supported Anand for standing up for filmmakers and the industry’s legacy, others believe such remarks are part of showbiz humor and shouldn’t be taken too seriously.
The ongoing exchange reflects a larger debate between Bollywood insiders and comedians, where humor, criticism, and creative expression often collide.
As Dhurandhar continues to dominate headlines, it’s clear that the conversation around the film is now extending far beyond the box office.
