Sandeep Reddy Vanga praised Ranveer Singh’s performance in Dhurandhar, calling the film powerful and masculine, and lauded Aditya Dhar’s direction. His comments came amid past controversy with Deepika Padukone, who had exited Vanga’s Spirit over work-hour concerns
Sandeep Reddy Vanga, A still from Dhurandhar
After recently making headlines for his alleged feud with Deepika Padukone over Spirit, filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga has spoken out to praise her husband, Ranveer Singh, for his performance in Dhurandhar. According to the director of Animal, the picture is "built like a man who doesn't talk much and carries a masculine spine".
Sandeep Reddy Vanga reviews Dhurandhar
On Saturday, Sandeep took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to compliment Aditya Dhar's film and the cast's performances. “DHURANDHAR is built like a man who doesn’t talk much & carries a masculine spine.... DHURANDHAR The title fits because the film moves with dominance and fierce. The depiction is very clear with zero chaos. Music, performances, screenplay and direction are on the top,” Sandeep Reddy Vanga wrote.
The director added, “AkshayKhanna sir and RanveerOfficial erased into air & just disappeared into characters effortlessly… Thank you AdityaDharFilms for making everyone experience the true weight of untold sacrifices.”
Aditya also penned a note responding to Vanga's post on Dhurandhar. He wrote, “Thank you, my Dearest Sandeep. Coming from you, this means a great deal. I’ve always admired the fearlessness with which you stand by your cinema and your faith in unapologetic, masculine storytelling.”
“Dhurandhar was shaped with sincerity, restraint, and conviction—your words give that journey its quiet validation. Grateful for voices like yours that keep Indian cinema honest, rooted, and strong. Two filmmakers, different paths – yet walking as brothers toward a stronger cinema and a braver tomorrow for our country. Cinema remembers the brave, not the agreeable,” he further added.
Dispute with Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone made headlines earlier this year when she left Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, apparently due to her request for an 8-hour workday, triggering a bigger discussion about work-life balance in the film business.
The rumours intensified after Vanga tweeted a nasty note purportedly criticising Deepika for 'ousting' the script for his upcoming project, Spirit. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100 perecent faith. There is an unsaid NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, you've 'DISCLOSED' the person that you are.... Putting down a Younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for?”
