# Ranveer Singh's Bold Swagger in *Dhurandhar*: Too Eye-Catching or Pure Genius? Imagine an actor so magnetic that even his co-star can't ignore him—Prashant Narayanan just called Ranveer Singh "extremely brave" yet "too eye-catching" in *Dhurandhar*, addressing his earlier remarks that sparked buzz.[1] *Dhurandhar*, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer alongside Sara Arjun, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, and others, shattered box office records as Indian cinema's biggest grosser.[3] Despite a rocky start with mixed reviews—some critics labeled it propaganda—the film won audiences over with its conviction and scale.[3] Anurag Kashyap praised this courage, slamming "coordinated" social media backlash against critics while highlighting the team's grit in pushing through a lengthy, self-funded vision.[3][4] Ranveer's pre-release controversies added fuel: he apologized publicly for mimicking Rishab Shetty's iconic *Kantara* Daiva scene, calling it a "female ghost" and upsetting cultural fans, right before *Dhurandhar*'s December drop.[1] Off-screen, his exit from *Don 3* ignited a Rs 400 million feud with Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment over script readiness and pre-production costs, now before the Producers Guild.[2] Yet, these storms only amplified *Dhurandhar*'s hype, proving Ranveer's unfiltered energy captivates. Prashant Narayanan's take underscores Ranveer's intensity—brave choices that dominate the screen, sometimes overshadowing ensembles.[1] In a cast-packed thriller, his presence turned heads, blending high-stakes action with raw emotion that propelled the film to historic success, sequel incoming March 19.[3]
