Ranveer Singh and father-in-law, Prakash Padukone teamed up for a new ad that has taken social media by storm for its tongue-in-cheek humor. The actor and the Badminton legend teamed up for a new promotional campaign, their first on-screen venture together. The actor was seen as the perfect daddy girl as he grabbed a unicorn toy while Prakash also grabbed a cute sheep ice cream. If they both go to the movies, Ranveer buys them movie tickets.
Fans see ‘Bhavandar: The Tornado’ poster
Interestingly, the movie they were both going to watch was called ‘Bhavandar: The Tornado’. Apart from having popcorn containers with the poster of the film, fans also noticed the big poster that appears on the screens behind Ranveer and Prakash. It didn’t take long for them to wonder if the poster was a subtle response to YouTuber Dhruv Rathee’s criticism of Singh’s box office hits “Dhurandhar” and “Dhurandhar: The Revenge”.
Fans react to alleged dig
Many social media users interpreted what they saw Singh and Padukone burning Rathee’s criticism of the film, dubbing it as “propaganda”. Taking note of the comments, one fan said, “The ‘bhavandar’ post behind them, while another added, “‘bhavandar’ directed by dhruv rathee was funny.”Another said, “wait i’m crying the movie being announced behind them is BHAVANDAR.” Another added: “This is a meta joke… Bhavandar…”
About the controversy
Rathee sparked controversy with his video criticizing the film Aditya Dhar, alleging that it pushed a political narrative. Commentary and criticism of the film led to widespread reactions online, with viewers supporting his views and others defending the film’s creative choices.
‘Dhurandhar’ a box office success
Despite the criticism, the ‘Dhurandhar’ franchise has become the first to cross the Rs 3,000 crore mark with both films. The first part earned a total of 1.3 billion worldwide, the second part crossed the 1.7 billion mark in 24 days. As the film is scheduled to be in theaters for another few weeks, it is now chasing the box office records of ‘Pushpa 2’ and ‘Baahubali 2’.
