Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge is doing very well at the box office and is getting a lot of love from audiences. However, along with its success, the Ranveer Singh starrer has also started a debate. While many fans are enjoying the film, some critics have called it PROPAGANDA. Now, actor Aditya Uppal has reacted to this controversy. He plays an important role in the film and has asked viewers to watch it first before judging it.
Aditya Uppal plays ASP Omar Haider in Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge. His character is a smart and loyal officer in the Lyari Task Force. He is also a trusted aide to Sanjay Dutt’s character. The role is inspired by real-life officer Omar Shahid Hamid. His character becomes more important in the sequel. He leads a major investigation and shares intense scenes with Ranveer Singh’s character.

Aditya Uppal To Dhurandhar 2 Being Labelled ‘Propaganda’
Reacting to the criticism, Aditya Uppal shared his thoughts in a calm and balanced way. He said that in a country like India, it is normal for people to have different opinions.
He told Zoom, “Nonetheless, the film’s purpose is genuine; it has been crafted with integrity and authenticity. Even if some viewers interpret certain elements differently, that’s their viewpoint and it deserves respect. The majority of the audience has valued the film and recognises that while it draws inspiration from real events, it remains a cinematic interpretation. I would encourage people to watch it with an open mind before labelling it as propaganda.”
He further added, “Only then can they genuinely grasp the intention behind the narrative and the dedication of the entire team, particularly Mukesh Chhabra and Aditya, without whom this film and character wouldn’t have come to fruition.”
About The Controversy
The debate around the film started because of its political themes. Some scenes show real-world events, including demonetisation and footage of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This has led to strong reactions from some viewers.
Critics like Dhruv Rathee and Ramya feel the film supports a particular viewpoint. On the other hand, supporters like Anupam Kher and members of the film’s team say it is a well-made spy thriller that reflects real issues and national pride.
Despite the debate, Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge continues to perform strongly in theatres. The film is not only attracting large crowds but also sparking conversations across social media.
