Javed Akhtar, the legendary Indian lyricist and writer, spoke out in defense of the film 'Dhurandhar' after it was labeled a propaganda film. Speaking to reporters after receiving a special award, Akhtar stated that every filmmaker has the right to propagate their ideas through their work. He expressed his admiration for 'Dhurandhar,' calling it an excellent film and noted that narratives often labeled as propaganda may simply reflect differing audience perspectives. Akhtar emphasized that every film carries a moral and an underlying ideology, regardless of its narrative style. 'Dhurandhar' features prominent actors such as Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Dutt, and its story revolves around an undercover Indian intelligence agent infiltrating criminal syndicates in Karachi, Pakistan, to dismantle a terror network targeting India. The sequel, 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge,' continues this narrative while addressing the aftermath of the November 2008 Mumbai terror attacks and other significant threats.
