Renowned Director Vetrimaaran, who is currently working on Arasan with Simbu, indirectly attacked Dhurandhar 2, the latest blockbuster.
What Did Vetrimaaran Say About Dhurandhar 2?
“Today everything becomes propaganda. Propaganda has power to influence memory. We all know who has impacted with demonetization & how many lost lives in standing the queue. It’s hate propaganda.”
While the director did not mention the name of the film, everyone understood that he was talking about Dhurandhar 2.
Released on March 19, 2026, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is directed by Aditya Dhar and stars Ranveer Singh. It has been largely discussed regarding its content since the release, be it positive or negative. Yami Gautam called it 'beyond extraordinary' in her early review ahead of release.
What Is the Connection Between Dhurandhar 2 and Demonetisation?
Demonetisation is re-imagined as “Operation Green Leaf,” a fictionalized, covert strategic strike designed to foil a ₹60,000 crore counterfeit note conspiracy rather than merely a policy move in the film.
The actual date of the 2016 demonetisation in India was November 8, 2016, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the withdrawal of ₹500 and ₹1,000 banknotes in a televised address.
In the film, Dhurandhar 2, the makers used the same announcement but changed the date to years later without mentioning the date in audio or video to avoid any legal issues.
