Ram Gopal Varma compares Dhurandhar 2 and War 2. Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 directed by Aditya Dhar is breaking all records at the box office. Maverick director Ram Gopal Varma is showering praises on the film for quite sometime and he now came up with shocking comparision between Dhurandhar 2 and Hrithik Roshan, NTR's War2 directed by Ayan Mukerjee which turned out to be a dud.
He said "If you look at it, Hamza has done as many bad things as the so-called bad guys in the film. You are taking the perspective 'we are Indians and they are Pakistanis'. But if you take all of us as human beings, they’re all caught in a situation."
Ram Gopal Varma continued "In recent times, not to take the film's name, two big stars are fighting in a big-budget film, and I see no expressions on their faces. This guy punches, but there’s no effect because they’re heroes, they’re supermen. They’re not supposed to feel pain like any regular human being would because they want to protect their star image for their fans or whatever the reasons are," without naming War2.
He added "When Major Iqbal stabs Hamza towards the end, I’ve never seen pain be so real that I did on Ranveer Singh's face. The last I saw a glimpse of that was Leonardo DiCaprio in Body of Lies."
Showering praises on Ranveer Singh, he said" So, a guy who can bleed, feel pain, and cry, he can also be a bigger hero than most templated pan-India heroes. That, for me, is the biggest sea change. The story is a very templated one, a hero working towards a lofty purpose for his country, sacrificing everything. Many films like that are being made. But the difference here is that the respect, dignity, and humanness with which Aditya Dhar has treated them that none of them looks larger than life. But they feel larger than life. There’s no artificial buildup of the characters. They are gray."
