A Pakistani journalist has claimed that former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif watched Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2, despite the film being banned in Pakistan, and appreciated the character inspired by him. Khalid Mehmood Khalid, earlier, claimed to have watched the film the same day it was released in Pakistan.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, he said, “Nawaz Sharif greatly appreciated his role in Dhurandhar 2. He asked a friend to arrange a copy of the film and watched it in full.” In his post, he tagged Nawaz Sharif’s daughter, Maryam Nawaz Sharif.

This isn’t Khalid’s first post about the Ranveer Singh-starrer. On March 19, the day the film released, he shared that he was watching it in Lahore. He completed it with a short clip from the film.
