Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra has defended Aditya Dhar's spy thriller "Dhurandhar," praising its technical execution, acting, and casting amidst claims it is propaganda. Responding to critics on X, Mishra stated that those who deem the film propaganda should "make a powerful film...which counters it." He also pushed back against lumping all Indian filmmakers under "Bollywood," asserting their diverse identities within the Indian Film Industry. Mishra hinted at a future film addressing sensitive issues, responding to a user's question about making films on topics like the Unnao rape case.
