The Aditya Dhar-directed franchise 'Dhurandhar' has become the first Indian film series to cross Rs 3,000 crore worldwide. The two films, starring Ranveer Singh, have drawn praise from industry peers.
Actor Vikram Kochhar told IANS that Singh has reset the meaning of stardom with the franchise. He disagreed with the idea that Singh might be Bollywood's last true star, arguing that the industry will keep producing icons. Kochhar also pointed to the South film industry, citing Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi as examples that star culture remains alive there.
Kochhar, known for 'Sacred Games' and 'Raktanchal', began his film career with supporting roles in 2013 releases 'Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola' and 'Ghanchakkar'.
