R Madhavan is getting a lot of love for his role as Ajay Sanyal, the Intelligence Bureau chief, in Dhurandhar 2.
The film, currently in theaters and starring Ranveer Singh too, caught the eye of director Ram Gopal Varma, who called Madhavan's performance "quietly commanding" and full of subtle intensity.
Varma says Madhavan really anchored this action-packed spy thriller.
