Madhavan Breaks Silence After Sikh Community Files FIR Against 'Dhurandhar 2'
R Madhavan denies smoking during a sacred recitation in Dhurandhar 2, clarifying the cigarette was extinguished before the scene, amid a formal complaint over Sikh sentiments.
- Actor R. Madhavan addressed the Dhurandhar 2 controversy, denying he smoked while reciting lines from the Dasam Granth and assuring fans the cigarette was extinguished well before the sacred recitation.
- The controversy stems from a scene where Madhavan's character, Ajay Sanyal, reportedly smokes while reciting sacred Gurbani, with critics arguing the depiction disrespects the Sikh faith and shows insensitivity.
- Gurjyot Singh Keer, president of the organisation Sikhs in Maharashtra, lodged a formal complaint at Mumbai's Mulund Police Station, with an FIR reportedly naming Madhavan, Ranveer Singh, and director Aditya Dhar.
- Keer demanded an immediate apology, stating, 'Apologise immediately, or history has shown what the Sikh community is capable of,' and urged supporters to protest if they fail to comply.
- Despite the controversy, Dhurandhar 2 continues its strong box office run, having crossed Rs 850 crore worldwide and nearing the Rs 1,000 crore milestone since its release three months after its predecessor.
