# Sunny Deol's Heartwarming Nod to Ranveer Singh's Viral "Dhurandhar" Dialogue – No Royalties, Just Pure Respect! **Imagine a dialogue so powerful it echoes Sunny Deol's legendary films – and the action star himself calls it a sweet tribute.** In the blockbuster spy-thriller *Dhurandhar*, Ranveer Singh delivers the line "I am injured, therefore I am lethal" as his character Hamza Ali Majari, cleverly nodding to Deol's iconic movies *Ghayal* (1990) and *Ghatak* (1996).[1][4] Sunny Deol, in a recent interview with Asian News International (ANI), dismissed any talk of royalties with a smile. "I have no intention of claiming royalties. The director, Aditya Dhar, is a big fan of mine, and including this line was meant as an homage. Using the title like this is very sweet," he said.[1] This gracious response turns potential controversy into a feel-good moment, highlighting how Bollywood pays homage to its legends. Film experts agree: such references are a mark of respect, not ownership.[1] Released on December 5, 2025, *Dhurandhar* smashed box-office records, grossing over ₹1,300 crore worldwide, thanks to its gripping undercover mission plot, high-octane action, and stellar cast including Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sanjay Dutt.[1][2] Directed by Aditya Dhar – known for *Uri: The Surgical Strike* – the film drew mixed reviews, with praise for its storytelling but some backlash over its political tone and organized online trolling of critics, as noted by Anurag Kashyap.[2] Yet, fan edits and viral moments like Akshaye Khanna's "kasainuma" line from his Rehman Dakait role keep the buzz alive, even teasing a *Dhurandhar 2* sequel.[3] Sunny's reaction reminds us why he's a **Bollywood icon** – humble amid success, like his recent hits. It sparks joy in fans bridging generations of action cinema.
