Besides this, the filmmaker had also praised the success of the two recent Bollywood releases – Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar and Sunny Deol’s Border 2, in an earlier video shared on social media. “The mega success of the two recent back-to-back mega Hindi film successes proves one thing…Bollywood (yes, incorrect terminology, but here to stay) is back.
