Filmmaker's defense
Ram Gopal Varma defends film against propaganda claims
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has come to the film's defense against claims that it is a propaganda piece. He described to ANI, "I should thank him because he showed a new way of Indian cinema." "Calling Durandar just a 'film' doesn't feel right, because maybe in the last 20-30 years, no film has come like this, its scale, its twists, and even without relying heavily on story twists, its structure itself." "Aditya has transformed that structure."
