Allu Arjun of Pushpa fame watched Dhurandhar in Hyderabad and lauded the team for giving such a big hit.

Dhurandhar is in no mood to slow down and is taking the box office by storm. With not many big films releasing in the South, the Ranveer Singh-starrer is dominating the show in cities like Hyderabad.

The Hindi film is receiving a lot of accolades, and the latest to appreciate it is Allu Arjun. The other day, he was spotted at superstar Mahesh Babu's multiplex, AMB Cinemas, catching the latest show, and he loved the film.
In a detailed message, he praised the actors and the team for their stunning work in the action drama. “Just watched #Dhurandhar. A brilliantly made film filled with fine performances, top-notch technical aspects, and amazing soundtracks.”
He showered special praise on the main lead, Ranveer Singh, saying, “Magnetic presence by my brother Ranveer Singh—he rocked the show with his versatility. Charismatic aura by Akshaye Khanna ji, and the rock-solid presence of Sanjay Dutt ji, Madhavan garu, Arjun Rampal garu, and all the other artists. Sweet presence by Sara Arjun as well.”
Allu Arjun’s praise will give Dhurandhar a new wave of hype in the Telugu states. However, the film is facing tough competition from Balakrishna's Akhanda 2, which hit the screens on December 12, 2025.
“Congratulations to the entire team—the technicians, cast, crew, Jyoti Deshpande ji, and Jio Studios,” Allu Arjun added as he concluded his message.
The action drama has been directed by Aditya Dhar, and now the wait is on for the second part of the film, which is set to release in March 2026.
On the other hand, Allu Arjun is busy shooting for his new film under the direction of Atlee. The shoot is happening in Mumbai, and Deepika Padukone plays the female lead in this action drama produced by Sun Pictures.
