Ram Gopal Varma has once again made headlines, this time for his unrestrained praise of Aditya Dhar and the blockbuster Dhurandhar 2. Known for his candid and often controversial takes on cinema, RGV shared a passionate post on X, calling the film a game-changer and urging filmmakers to “join the Aditya Dhar school of filmmaking.”
RGV hails Dhurandhar 2 as a cinematic revolution
In his post, Varma reflected on his own career, noting that much of his work has been inspired by Hollywood classics such as The Sound of Music (Rangeela), The Exorcist (Raat, Bhoot), and The Godfather (Satya, Company, Sarkar). Yet, after watching Dhurandhar 2, he felt these earlier benchmarks were eclipsed.
“If Godfather was my earlier benchmark in this genre, I now felt Dhurandhar 2 is like Godfather’s GODFATHER,” he wrote, praising the film’s craft, storytelling style, character design, background score, emotional depth, performances, and action choreography.
RGV didn’t stop at praise—he urged filmmakers to shed their egos, study the film intensively, and adapt their craft accordingly. “By not doing so… YOU TOO WILL DIE,” he wrote, emphasizing the revolutionary impact he believes the film will have on Indian cinema.

Promoting the Aditya Dhar school
Varma’s admiration extends beyond the film itself. He repeatedly encouraged filmmakers to consider Dhurandhar 2 as a masterclass in modern filmmaking. According to him, embracing this approach is the only way to “stay updated” in a rapidly evolving cinematic landscape. His post is a continuation of a public camaraderie he has developed with Aditya Dhar since the release of the first Dhurandhar.
RGV’s upcoming film: Syndicate
The director also shared details of his upcoming project, Syndicate, which he described as a post-Dhurandhar 2 era film. The story follows the rise of a dangerously powerful organisation that threatens the very existence of India.
“It will be almost like a HORROR film, not because of any supernatural elements, but because it will bare open the horrors that exist in some human minds which they can enact TERRIFYINGLY,” Varma explained. He dedicated Syndicate to his “guru” Aditya Dhar and positioned it as a film that could match the cinematic standards set by Dhurandhar 2.

A continued online camaraderie
RGV has consistently supported Aditya Dhar’s work, even sharing early reviews of Dhurandhar 2 before paid previews began in March 2026. Their ongoing exchange of praise has sparked conversations online, highlighting a rare bond between two filmmakers in the Indian industry—one celebrated for his revolutionary action thrillers, the other for redefining modern cinematic storytelling.
With his bold statements and ambitious upcoming projects, Ram Gopal Varma continues to stir discussions in Bollywood, positioning Dhurandhar 2 as a pivotal film in shaping the next era of Indian cinema.
