Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, is currently in spotlight after its release. There is a heavy debate around the movie since early reviews drop and claims of PR bookings are made. In the midst of it all, press screenings of the movie were cancelled. Both the Mumbai as well as Delhi press shows were cancelled at the last minute on December 4. Here's everything that is happening...

Why were Dhurandhar press screenings cancelled?

The Delhi press show had to be cancelled owing to a technical glitch. The media was informed about the same at the end moment. Since Dhurandhar is the lengthiest Hindi film (beating even Jodhaa Akbar's runtime), the error could not be fixed in time. Thus, the press screenings were cancelled and the media was forced to book the shows on the release day i.e. December 5.

Claims that Dhurandhar mass bookings are happening by production houses

Theatre-goers are currently of the belief that mass bookings are happening by production houses. A video shared on the internet is now going viral owing to the same reason. However, there is no proof of the video being genuine since there is no link to Dhurandhar except the user claiming that the hype created made him purchase the ticket.
