A 2019 video of 'Dhurandhar' actor Ranveer Singh speaking about Pakistani artistes' ban in India has resurfaced. He had said, "As artistes...we are not sacrificing the way some of our compatriots are...If there is one mother of a soldier who believes we should not engage, then we should respect the sentiment." The 'Dhurandhar' franchise has earned over ₹3,000 crore worldwide.
