ST Hasan on Dhurandhar 2: Films Fuel Hate for Controversy and Cash

The buzz around ‘Dhurandhar 2’, Ranveer Singh’s latest, isn’t just about its high-octane action—it’s the bold claims linking Atiq Ahmad to ISI, Dawood’s terror ties, and demonetization that have politicians fuming post its Thursday release. SP MP ST Hasan cut through the noise, branding the approach as a cynical bid for attention and profits.

‘Police have the full dossier on these links—ISI or not—but stay mum. Filmmakers don’t; they fabricate for hype,’ Hasan told media. ‘Stir the pot, let channels roar, and crowds flock in curiosity.’ He affirmed Dawood’s known ISI role but slammed unverified Atiq portrayals.

Hasan mourned Bollywood’s evolution: ‘Movies now serve politics, not people—spreading hate, eroding Hindu-Muslim bonds. Parties might even foot the bill.’ He contrasted this with yesteryear films’ unity calls.

In a parting shot, he urged BJP’s Kangana Ranaut to audit her online vitriol before targeting Rahul Gandhi, decrying politics’ nosedive. ‘Dhurandhar 2’s’ success amid furor reveals how controversy trumps content, challenging India’s film industry to reclaim its role as a unifier, not divider.
