The roaring success of Dhurandhar has set new trends and benchmarks for Bollywood, at the box office as well as in terms of filmmaking. Amid this, an alleged tweet of director Siddharth Anand has gone viral on social media, wherein he seemingly took a dig at South Indian film producer Naga Vamsi over the success of the film. He deleted the tweet later. However, a Reddit user shared the screenshot of the tweet, which is now going viral.

Notably, a few days ago, Siddharth had showered praises on Dhurandhar in his tweet. He wrote, “DHURANDHAR is nasha. It stays for long with you. It doesn’t leave you. You crave for wanting more. It is a prime example of EVERY damn department performing to their peak! How! How? Because the director AdityaDharFilms propelled all of them with his conviction. And his passion. Which shows in every frame. There are some scenes that are executed like a seasoned maestro. Each performance, all of them, has just submitted and allowed their best to be extracted. I’m going to go again. And I don’t remember wanting to see a film again in the theatres for years.. so happy!! Kudos team DHURANDHAR! (sic).”
About the Naga Vamsi controversy
For the unversed, last year, during a roundtable interview with Galatta Plus, Naga Vamsi told Boney Kapoor, “This might sound harsh, but we South Indians have changed the way you look at cinema — even for Bollywood. Because you guys were stuck in making films for Bandra and Juhu. But now, with films like RRR, Baahubali, Animal, and Jawan. These have kind of changed your version.”
Boney reacted to his remark, giving him a befitting reply, to which Vamsi said, “We just rediscovered Hindi cinema because of these mass, huge event films.” After the video of the roundtable went viral, Vamsi was heavily trolled for insulting a senior producer like Boney Kapoor.
