The success of *Dhurandhar The Revenge* continues to grow steadily, and the film—starring Ranveer Singh—is garnering immense interest among the public. From the South Indian industry to Bollywood, everyone is lavishly praising Aditya Dhar’s directorial vision and Ranveer Singh’s performance. However, a statement made by comedian Zakir Khan at an awards show a few days ago has gone viral on social media, prompting a sharp retort from director Siddharth Anand.
For the uninitiated, during the awards ceremony, Zakir Khan made a remark regarding *Dhurandhar 2*, quipping, “The bombs exploded in the trenches, yet the smoke is rising here in Bandra and Juhu.” Following this line by the comedian, Siddharth Anand—the director of *King*—took to his ‘EX’ account to respond, writing, “The people of Juhu and Bandra have delivered all-time blockbuster films over the last 50 years. If you fail to recognize their contribution…”

While writing this, Siddharth Anand did not directly mention any specific individual by name, but fans have surmised that his angry retort was directed squarely at Zakir Khan. This is not the first time Zakir Khan has faced such a rebuke. Previously, Amisha Patel had also taken to her ‘EX’ (formerly Twitter) handle to write: “Stop spreading negativity.
The film industry values and respects *Dhurandhar*. Shah Rukh, Salman, Sunny, Hrithik, Ajay—there are many such superstars who have delivered twenty-five mega-hit films, and they continue to do so. So, chill out; everyone has been creating a ‘Gadar’ (sensation) for many years, and they will continue to do so in the future.”
