Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma opined that South filmmakers "won’t like" the success of Ranveer Singh starrer 'Dhurandhar', saying, "Everyone will pray to God for [Yash-starrer] 'Toxic' to shatter Dhurandhar's record." "All those folks will band together to pray at Tirupati and Vaishno Devi so that their film can break...record," he added. 'Dhurandhar 2' has earned over ₹580 crore in India.
