Veteran actor Paresh Rawal appears to have taken yet another dig at film critic Anupama Chopra over her review of Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, which she had described as an “exhausting, relentless and frenzied espionage thriller propelled by charismatic, murderous men, too much testosterone, shrill nationalism and inflammatory anti-Pakistan narratives.” Following massive backlash from netizens, including Paresh Rawal, Chopra eventually removed the review video from YouTube.

Amid the controversy, filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma on Friday, December 17, praised Dhurandhar, calling the Aditya Dhar directorial a ‘quantum leap in Indian cinema’ and stating that its success should serve as a ‘warning’ for the film industry to ‘grow up.’
Responding to Verma’s tweet, Paresh wrote, “Hey Ramu, thanks for teaching our so-called CRITICS how to review a film! Hope they grow up!”, a remark that was widely seen as an indirect dig at Anupama Chopra.
