“In the film Dhurandhar, there were explosions in Lyari, but smoke is rising between Bandra-Juhu”

‘Dhurandhar’ franchise directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh is not only breaking box office records but has also become a topic of discussion on social media. As the film’s successful run continues, comedian Zakir Khan has taken a dig at Bollywood. He said that due to the tremendous success of this film, many people in the industry have become jealous.

On Sunday (April 5), Zakir played host on the Chetak Screen Awards 2026 stage along with Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar. Many clips of this ceremony are now going viral on social media, one of which is especially in the news. In this clip, Zakir took a dig at Bollywood over the blockbuster success of ‘Dhurandhar’ franchise. Both the original film and its sequel have been massive box office hits and achieved major commercial success.

Zakir Khan said, “No matter how much you talk, post congratulatory posts that ‘Dhurandhar’ is our favorite film, but the truth is that we are jealous of ‘Dhurandhar’. There were bomb blasts in Lyari in the film, but its smoke is rising between Bandra and Juhu.” His statement is being considered a sharp satire on Bollywood. This clip is becoming increasingly viral on social media. One user wrote, “Zakir Khan is speaking the truth,” while another said that Zakir Khan is exposing those Mumbaikars who were betrayed by the film ‘Dhurandhar’.
