Kangana Ranaut Praises R Madhavan in Dhurandhar, Calls for Biopic on Ajit Doval
Actor and politician Kangana Ranaut has publicly praised the box office success of the spy thriller Dhurandhar: The Revenge, highlighting R Madhavan's performance as Intelligence Bureau Director Ajay Sanyal. In an interview with ANI, Ranaut credited the film with reviving the Indian film industry by reconnecting it with audiences through culturally relevant storytelling, contrasting it with the recent dominance of South Indian cinema. She described Madhavan's portrayal as terrific, noting his closeness to the real-life inspiration, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. However, Ranaut suggested that Doval's immense personality warrants a separate biographical film to fully do justice to his character. The article notes that Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, is based on true incidents from the early 2000s involving Indian operations in Pakistan. The sequel continues to perform strongly at the box office in its fourth week. Ranaut, who previously collaborated with Madhavan in the Tanu Weds Manu series, emphasized how such patriotic narratives have restored hope and audience participation in Bollywood.
