Amid his ongoing row with actress Deepika Padukone, filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga has praised her husband Ranveer Singh’s latest film Dhurandhar, joining the growing chorus of appreciation for the Aditya Dhar directorial. Grateful for voices like yours that keep Indian cinema honest, rooted, and strong,” Dhar said. Dhar added that such exchanges among filmmakers help push Indian cinema towards “a stronger cinema and a braver tomorrow for our country”. Set in Pakistan in the early 2000s, the film follows an Indian spy working to dismantle Karachi’s mafia network. Sandeep Reddy Vanga had a fallout with Deepika earlier this year after the latter exited Vanga’s upcoming directorial Spirit over alleged disagreement over working hours.
