Amid this wave of appreciation, Ameesha Patel has now weighed in, calling the film a much-needed wake-up call for Bollywood. The actor took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her thoughts, praising filmmaker Aditya Dhar for prioritising storytelling and performance over fleeting trends.

Sharing her strong endorsement, she wrote, “Eye opener. Industry Praising DHURANDHAR is wow and the brand deserves all the accolades, industry needs to realise that ADITYA made a film and not a project, cast actors and not instagrammars who trend at parties, stop making projects and start making films.”

Her statement quickly struck a chord online, especially at a time when conversations around casting choices have become increasingly prominent. While Ameesha didn’t name anyone directly, netizens pointed out how several creators who built their presence on social media platforms have transitioned into films in recent years.

Names like Kusha Kapila, who appeared in Thank You For Coming, Viraj Ghelani in Jawan. Anubhav Singh Bassi in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, and Harsh Beniwal in Student of the Year 2 were cited as examples. Many also referenced other creators who have recently stepped into mainstream cinema, highlighting how the line between digital fame and film opportunities continues to blur.

At the same time, Ameesha’s comments also reignited a larger debate within the industry and among audiences. Several voices questioned whether social media popularity offers an easier entry into films compared to traditionally trained actors. Others argued that the real test lies in performance, whether these creators can truly justify the roles they are given or are primarily cast to generate buzz and visibility around a project.
