Over ten years after it first hit the screens, Ravi Kishan's Bhojpuri action film ‘Dhurandhar: The Shooter’ is experiencing a surprising second wave of popularity. The 2013 film has been rediscovered by a whole new set of viewers online, all thanks to Ranveer Singh's blockbuster ‘Dhurandhar’, with clips and mentions of the older film spreading rapidly across various social media platforms.
Ravi Kishan reacts to his old Bhojpuri film 'Dhurandhar' going viral
At the trailer launch event, a reporter asked Ravi whether he was aware that his 2013 Bhojpuri film 'Dhurandhar' was currently trending. Ravi responded with a laugh, saying it was just another one of those unexpected moments in his life. He said, "Yes, such big surprises keep happening in my life. I had done a film called 'Dhurandhar' in Bhojpuri. That film was also in a similar zone as the one that has just released, but it was in Bhojpuri and had a certain budget. Now, while trying to watch and track the new 'Dhurandhar', people ended up watching my version too. So thank you so much. The producer and those who own the rights have suddenly become millionaire."
