Deepika Padukone has finally addressed the social media chatter around her not posting about Ranveer Singh‘s Dhurandhar: The Revenge, and she did it in a way only she can, with dry wit and perfect timing. As the film’s box office run dominated conversation, some online users turned her absence from the celebratory social media wave into a talking point. Deepika has now shut that down herself.
Her response came in the comments section of a reel discussing the conversation around her silence. Deepika wrote, “The latter my friend… P.S. I watched it way before any of you did. Now who is the joke on?” The comment quickly drew attention, not just for its humor, but because it instantly punctured the narrative that had formed around her not publicly weighing in on the film’s success.
Deepika’s Comment Became The Real Update
The timing of the remark only made it sharper. Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar and backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, has emerged as one of the year’s biggest Hindi film events. The film released in March 2026 and stars Ranveer Singh alongside Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan and Sara Arjun. Trade trackers have placed its worldwide gross above Rs 1,500 crore, cementing its all-time blockbuster status.
That is exactly why Deepika’s response landed so strongly. At a moment when the film was dominating conversation, she casually reminded fans that support does not always need a carefully timed Instagram post. Her line about having watched the film before everyone else reframed the chatter instantly, shifting it from online speculation to something far more personal and real.
Interestingly, this was not the first time she had shown support for the franchise. She had earlier praised the first Dhurandhar, calling it “worth every minute” in an Instagram story while congratulating Ranveer Singh, director Aditya Dhar, and the team. This time, instead of a formal post, a single comment was enough to settle the noise.
Why Deepika’s Offscreen Moves Still Command Attention
The episode also says a lot about where Deepika stands in the current star landscape. Even a brief comment from her can redirect a conversation, largely because her recent film choices have kept her firmly attached to some of mainstream Indian cinema’s biggest spectacles. In 2024, she was seen in Fighter with Hrithik Roshan, Siddharth Anand’s aerial action drama, followed by Kalki 2898 AD, Nag Ashwin’s sci-fi epic co-starring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan, one of the biggest Indian box office successes of that year.
She also featured in Singham Again in 2024, stepping into Rohit Shetty’s cop universe as Shakti Shetty and reinforcing her presence in major franchise-driven cinema. That larger career pattern makes moments like this feel more significant than a casual comment exchange. Deepika remains a star whose offscreen choices are watched as closely as her onscreen moves. Looking ahead, one of her confirmed theatrical projects is King, the Siddharth Anand-directed film starring Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan, which keeps her squarely in the mix of Hindi cinema’s most closely followed productions.
