The blockbuster film Dhurandhar 2 continues its phenomenal run at the box office, pulling in an impressive over Rs 1100 crore globally since its release on March 19. Fans are enthusiastically praising the movie for its gritty action sequences and the powerful performances delivered by its star-studded cast, including Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, Sanjay Dutt, and other talented actors.
Authentic Sets and Bold Storyline Captivate Audiences
Among the film's most outstanding features are the meticulously designed sets, which provide an absolute real-life feeling by accurately mimicking Pakistan's notorious Lyari neighborhood. The bold storyline, packed with spy thrills and underworld drama, has sparked widespread conversation, from theater lobbies to social media platforms, keeping audiences engaged and talking.
Viral Clip from Pakistan Claims Secret Shoots in Lyari
Recently, a hilarious viral clip from Pakistan went viral, featuring a local man making wild claims about secret shoots for Dhurandhar 2 in the actual Lyari area. In the video, the man asserts that parts of the film were secretly filmed there, not on sets elsewhere, with the crew sneaking in super early to avoid crowds.
He explained in the video, “Lyari ke mazak uda rahe bahar se arahe yahan par bana rahe. Lyari ke andar shoot hua hai. Ye log ratko 4-5 baje atey hain awaam so jaati thi. Ranveer Singh Cheel Chowk pe bhi aya tha. Iss time par ayega toh Lyari wale isko thodi chodenge.” (They're making fun of Lyari, coming from outside and shooting here. The shoot happened inside Lyari. These people came at 4-5 AM when everyone was asleep. Ranveer Singh even came to Cheel Chowk. If he came during the day, Lyari folks wouldn't spare him).
He added, “Video se pata lag jata hai. Awaam ke kuch buzurgon ne dekha hai. Young ladkon ne nahi dekha hai. Sanjay Dutt ka pata nahi par dusron ka pata hai.” (You can tell from the video. Some elders saw them, but young guys didn't. Not sure about Sanjay Dutt, but others we know).
Internet Roasts and Reactions to the Viral Claims
Netizens couldn't hold back their laughter at these assertions. One user wrote, “At 4 in the morning, Aditya Dhar, Ranveer Singh, and Sanjay Dutt quietly reached Lyari without anyone noticing, almost like a secret mission from a spy film. And then the shooting also got done, everyone stayed silent, no videos, no selfies, was the whole area in meditation mode or what?”
Another user joked, “We need a separate social media platform for Pakistani news channel videos. We can call it PakTok.” Other users added comments like, “A standout brain from Karachi University,” and “What a confidence this boy has, amazing. And he hasn’t seen the film being shot. He has heard it from his elders.”
A comment focused on the innocence of the child in the video stated, “Whatever it is, the child is very innocent... Brother, they are pure-hearted people; clever individuals and supporters of terrorism take advantage of these innocent people.”
Where Was Dhurandhar 2 Actually Shot?
Contrary to the viral claims, Dhurandhar 2 was not shot in Pakistan at all. The makers recreated Lyari on a massive six-acre set in Bangkok to achieve stunning authenticity, as confirmed by cast interviews in various media reports. Other important scenes were filmed at Amritsar's heritage sites to add depth and realism to the narrative. There is no evidence whatsoever to support the assertions of secret shoots in Lyari, debunking the viral clip as a humorous but false claim.
