Bollywood power couple Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar continue to captivate fans, both with their off-screen chemistry and their on-screen triumphs. The year saw Yami delivering powerful performances, while December witnessed Aditya Dhar's directorial venture, 'Dhurandhar', achieving monumental success at the box office.
Yami Gautam's Script Revelation & Professional Ethos
In a candid conversation with News18, Yami Gautam shared a fascinating insight into her reaction to reading the script of 'Dhurandhar', a film directed by her husband, Aditya Dhar. The actress confessed that the script was so compelling it sparked a unique wish. "When I read his next script, I told him it was one of those special moments when I wished I were a boy," Yami revealed, highlighting the sheer strength of the narrative and the world Aditya had created.
However, she was quick to emphasize the clear professional boundaries they maintain. Yami stated that Aditya is firm about keeping their personal and professional lives separate, a principle she fully respects. "I don't have any such expectations. We respect that professional line. I don't think that line should be blurred," she asserted, showcasing their mature approach to working in the same industry.
Mutual Respect and Record-Breaking Success
Elaborating on their understanding, Yami added that she has no issue if Aditya believes another actor would be better suited for a role he has written. "That understanding was there from the beginning," she noted. Interestingly, Aditya Dhar acknowledged his wife's support in the credits of 'Dhurandhar' with a special 'Thank You'.
This professional synergy seems to have translated into spectacular commercial success. 'Dhurandhar' has now claimed the title of Bollywood's highest-grossing film ever. The movie, featuring Ranveer Singh in the lead, has achieved a staggering feat by reportedly raking in over ₹1100 crore (₹11 billion) worldwide in just 24 days of its release.
Stellar Cast and Unprecedented Milestone
The film's success is powered not just by its director and lead actor but by an ensemble cast of notable stars. Alongside Ranveer Singh, 'Dhurandhar' features:
- Sara Ali Khan
- Arjun Rampal
- Sanjay Dutt
- Akshaye Khanna
- R. Madhavan
This box office hurricane has set a new benchmark in Indian cinema, proving the potent combination of a powerful script, visionary direction, and a star-studded cast. The film's journey from a script that made Yami Gautam wish for a different gender role to becoming the nation's top-earning movie is a testament to Aditya Dhar's cinematic vision and the audience's overwhelming response.
