In Short

• Yami Gautam recently opened up about whether Dhurandha success has changed Aditya Dhar
• She described Aditya as unaffected, humble, and steady through vulnerable phases
• Yami said delayed success still feels deserved and deeply reassuring

Actor Yami Gautam recently opened up about how Dhuranshar: The Revenge's success signals a shift in the industry towards prioritising strong storytelling. She also addressed whether the film’s reception has affected her husband and director Aditya Dhar.

Has Dhurandhar's success changed Aditya Dhar?

In an interview with Grazia, Yami said, “Nothing has changed us as people. That also comes from Aditya, and the kind of person he is, very unaffected and extremely humble. I've seen him through different phases; there are highs and lows and vulnerable phases, but it's not like during that phase we expressed our frustration or let it out. “

The actor shared that the couple is thankful to God and believes that good things may be delayed, but are never denied.

Reflecting on what Dhurandhar’s success reveals about the changing dynamics of the industry, Yami emphasised the renewed importance of strong storytelling and audience faith in cinema.

“This is why I said it was always a director's medium- it was always script and all those basic things that make a film, a film. The basics are back, so that's a massive shift. It's not just about a film doing well and new box office records – I don't think Dhurandhar's success is telling us only that. We were struggling to get people into theatres, and we were figuring and toying around with things,” she said.

Directed by Aditya Dhar and backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the film features an ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun. Music by Shashwat Sachdev has also helped the film gain traction across digital platforms.

Dhurandhar 2 box office
