The much-awaited film Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has hit an unexpected roadblock just hours before its scheduled paid premieres. The early screenings in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana have been cancelled, leaving fans surprised and disappointed. However, the Hindi version of the film will now be screened instead of the regional versions.
Why Were Dhurandhar 2 Paid Premieres Cancelled?
