On the professional front, Dhurandhar—which features Madhavan as Ajay Sanyal, the National Security Advisor of India, a character inspired by real-life NSA Ajit Doval—continues its phenomenal box-office run. As per the latest updates, the film is eyeing the ₹900 crore milestone at the Indian box office, while its global collections have crossed ₹1,328 crore. By Day 45 of its release, Dhurandhar has amassed an India net collection of ₹879.75 crore.

Earlier, Madhavan spoke candidly about the film’s success and impact. In a Hindi interview with News Nation TV, the actor revealed that from the moment he heard the script, he knew Dhurandhar had the potential to be a game-changer, especially in sparking conversations around national and social themes. While acknowledging the debates surrounding the film’s political undertones, Madhavan stressed that differing opinions are natural, but nothing should be placed above the nation. Reflecting on his journey at 55, the actor added that Dhurandhar represents the kind of boundary-pushing cinema he now wishes to be a part of.
