Akshay Kumar Praises Ranveer Singh Led-Dhurandhar Amid Aditya Dhar’s Franchise Success; Says, “It Was Very Nuanced And Beautifully Done”

Akshay Kumar shared his thoughts on Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s films Kabir Singh and Animal, and praised Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar. With over 35 years in cinema, Kumar has established himself as one of the industry’s most versatile actors, with a filmography that includes comedy, action, romance, and horror. He now believes that Indian cinema is experiencing a significant transformation. And he’s eager to be part of it.

Akshay Kumar On New-Age Filmmakers Like Aditya Dhar, Sandeep Reddy Vanga

During a conversation on his YouTube channel with Shubhankar Mishra, Akshay discussed working with new-age filmmakers such as Aditya Dhar and Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The actor candidly stated, “If any of these directors (Aditya Dhar and Sandeep Reddy Vanga) think that I deserve to be in their films, they can approach me. But most importantly, they should find something suitable for me, and I should also feel okay with it. I want to do an action film.”

Reflecting on the evolution of cinema, Akshay praised films like RRR and Baahubali, commending director SS Rajamouli for his grand storytelling. “RRR, even Baahubali, for that matter, had a very different kind of making. It was larger than life, where a man single-handedly controls ten elephants, with the director focusing on the man’s forearms. That is the conviction of the director, and it was beautifully done. Very well-made films. They showed us a different aspect of filmmaking—how grand and larger than life it can be,” he explained.

Akshay On Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Films Like Animal

Akshay also emphasised how Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s films have impacted the portrayal of anger in cinema. “Then came Animal with Ranbir Kapoor and Bobby Deol. I can never forget Bobby Deol’s character. In Animal, the anger went out of limit. The film brought back the whole ‘angry young man’ era, with ten times more power than what Amitabh Bachchan brought back then; that was limited, Animal wasn’t. Sandeep Reddy Vanga brought it back in a very different way. It was a new cinema and a new way of looking at a hero. People saw that he, too, is a hero who doesn’t just bite but can stab ten times. Same with Kabir Singh—he is the most angry lover.”

Akshay Kumar On Dhurandhar

Akshay further shared his appreciation for Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh. “Speaking of Dhurandhar, the way it explores the country—it was a very well-written film. Every question was answered. It was very clear that the makers knew a lot and had gathered information from multiple sources, which they turned into a film rooted in reality. It was very nuanced and beautifully done—taking something real and expanding it into a larger-than-life cinematic experience,” he remarked.

Concluding his thoughts on the changing landscape of cinema, Akshay said, “Cinema is evolving. If I ever get an opportunity to work in such films, I would be more than happy.”

Recently, Akshay Kumar was seen in Priyadarshan’s film Bhooth Bangla.
