A joke at an awards show has now become a major talking point in Bollywood! The Dhurandhar fever shows no signs of slowing down.
Recently, stand-up comedian Zakir Khan performed at an awards show, where he seemingly took a dig at Bollywood’s reactions to Dhurandhar’s massive success. During his hosting stint, Zakir jokingly said, “Kitne hi congratulatory post aap daal dein, kitni hi Stories daal dein, kitne hi interview mein aap bol dein ‘my favourite film’, magar sach toh yeh hai ki Dhurandhar se sabki jalti toh hai.”
But the joke didn’t sit well with filmmaker Siddharth Anand. The director took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his reaction, subtly calling out the remark. He wrote, ‘Juhu – Bandra peeps have given all ATBB’s since the past 50 years. You have to be a real duffer to undermine their contribution’. The tweet has now grabbed massive attention from netizens, drawing mixed reactions from netizens
What began as a lighthearted joke has now sparked a larger conversation. With Zakir Khan’s remark and Siddharth Anand’s response, the Dhurandhar wave continues to keep everyone talking.
