While Dhurandhar has largely received acclaim and support from Hindi film industry, there have been a few critics of the film within industry as well. On Sunday, Dhadak 2 filmmaker Shazia Iqbal penned a critical note on her social media page that’s evidently hinting at the Ranveer Singh starrer.

Taking to her Instagram stories section, Shazia shared two notes — one of which stated, “What a sinister film! It’s not hidden, it’s not unintentional — inciting hate and violence is in the DNA of the film.” The filmmaker used tracks from Dhurandhar, which strongly hinted at Dhurandhar being the film in question.

In a separate IG story, the Dhadak 2 filmmaker made a sarcastic remark at the ‘industry dude bros’ for championing the film. “But it’s a ‘well-made’ film, guys… with some cool BGM. Well done, industry dude bros. Glad that most of y’all don’t care about minorities enough to even hide your blatant apathy,” she penned.
