What's the story
Despite the box office success of Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, a viral video has surfaced featuring an auto-rickshaw driver who appears briefly in the film's final scene. The driver confessed to not having watched the Ranveer Singh-led movie yet due to its ticket price. "The tickets are around ₹500...so I haven't been able to watch it yet," he said in an interaction with a reporter.
Family's wish unfulfilled
'₹2,500 is what we manage to save in a month'
When asked if his children were eager to see the film because he was in it, the driver explained why they hadn't gone. "Yes, they did. But I told them that there are five of us, and it would cost ₹2,500 in total." "₹2,500 is what we manage to save in a month, so I didn't take them. I told them we will wait a bit and watch it later." His straightforward answer resonated with many online users.
