Ram Gopal Varma's Social Media Post Sparks Speculation Amid Toxic Film Release
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma posted on social media that he was "watching Dhurandhar again," shortly after the release of Yash's film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups. Although Varma did not explicitly mention Toxic, many social media users interpreted the timing and his previous comments as an indirect critique of the Yash-starrer. Varma had earlier contrasted Dhurandhar and Toxic, describing the former as "ultra-realistic cinema" and the latter as "fantasy dressed as seriousness." The post sparked mixed reactions online.
