Whether the film will beat Allu Arjun-led Pushpa 2 or not remains to be seen. 

Meanwhile, Dhurandhar actor Naveen Kaushik condemned the YouTuber Dhruv Rathee for accusing the film of peddling "false propaganda and selling lies". 

In an interview with SCREEN, Kaushik said, "He is an opinionated person. I am associated with the film, I don't agree with him obviously." He added, "He got some views because of us, congratulations."

Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film focuses on an Indian spy Jaskirat Singh Rangi, who is tasked to infiltrate the deadly Lyari gangs of Pakistan. Besides Ranveer Singh, the film stars Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and Saumya Tandon in significant roles.
