Renowned filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) is once again in the spotlight due to his candid remarks about the film industry. This time, he has targeted the upcoming film 'Toxic' starring South superstar Yash while showering praise on 'Dhurandhar', starring Ranveer Singh. Both films are set for a massive box office clash on March 19, marking what is being touted as one of the biggest cinematic showdowns in history. RGV's comments have sparked interest as he highlights the cultural conflict between Bollywood and Sandalwood, the Kannada film industry, amidst this competition.

'Dhurandhar', directed by Aditya Dhar, has already made waves at the box office since its release in December 2025, and now the sequel, 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', is in the works. However, Yash's 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups' poses a formidable challenge to the sequel's success. RGV took to social media with a lengthy post, emphasizing that this clash is more than just about two films; it represents a collision of two distinct cinematic cultures and philosophies.

In his statements, Ram Gopal Varma has articulated admiration for 'Dhurandhar', which he describes as a film that has set benchmarks in the industry. His critique of 'Toxic' appears to call into question the film's narrative strength compared to 'Dhurandhar', hinting at a larger discourse on the varying artistic directions within Indian cinema. As both films prepare for release, the debate initiated by RGV may lay the groundwork for how audiences perceive not just these films, but the broader clash of Indian film traditions.
