The momentum for Aditya Dhar’s espionage epic, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, reached a fever pitch on March 23, 2026, after receiving a glowing endorsement from the Thalaivar himself, Rajinikanth. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) account, the legendary superstar shared his immense praise for the film, writing, “What a film #Dhurandhar2 !!!
Aditya Dhar box office -ka baap !!! Many congratulations to Ranveer and the entire cast and crew. A must-watch film for every Indian. Jai Hind.” This high-profile stamp of approval from Rajinikanth has further solidified the film’s status as a cultural phenomenon, following its record-shattering opening week at the global box office.
Director Aditya Dhar responded to the superstar with an emotional message, calling the praise a “blessing” from the very person who defined entertainment for generations. “Sir, we’ve all grown up measuring ‘entertainment’ with just one benchmark, YOU,” Dhar wrote, adding that hearing a “must-watch” endorsement from his idol felt like the biggest “superstar moment” of his life.
Rajinikanth’s post also triggered a nostalgic wave online, as fans resurfaced an old video of the actor discussing his own personal connection to the military and his brother’s sacrifice in the 1965 war, echoing the patriotic themes explored in the Ranveer Singh-starrer. With over ₹800 crore collected worldwide in just six days, Rajinikanth’s endorsement is expected to push the film toward even greater historical milestones
