Director Suparn S Varma has defended Aditya Dhar against criticism regarding violent content in the Dhurandhar trailer, arguing that audiences and industry observers apply inconsistent standards when evaluating Indian productions. Varma suggested that identical sequences in Korean or Japanese films would receive praise for cinematic excellence rather than condemnation.
The filmmaker emphasized that Hindi cinema deserves equal recognition alongside international works, noting that each director brings distinctive perspectives shaped by individual backgrounds. He expressed admiration for the universe and characters developed by Dhar and his production team.
Varma, whose recent release Haq has earned approximately 17.86 crore rupees according to industry tracking data, previously discussed how political themes permeate various artistic forms. He cited Charlie Chaplin's work as demonstrating how power dynamics and social divisions manifest across different genres, from comedy to family stories.
