Bollywood is jealous: Zakir Khan roasts industry's 'fake love' for Dhurandhar 2

Stand-up comedian Zakir Khan took a humorous dig at Bollywood during the Screen Awards 2026, poking fun at the industry's reaction to the success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Hosting the event, Khan used his platform to roast the film fraternity, implying their "fake love" for the film's massive popularity.

He remarked on how many in the industry have been praising Dhurandhar 2 openly, sharing congratulatory messages and social media posts. Yet, according to him, there is an underlying envy towards the Aditya Dhar directorial.

During his hosting stint, Khan said, "Kitne hi congratulatory post aap daal dein, kitni hi Stories daal dein, kitne hi interview mein aap bol dein my favourite film, magar sach toh yeh hai ki Dhurandhar se sabki jalti toh hai (No matter how many congratulatory posts you put up, no matter how many Stories you share, no matter how often you say in interviews that it's your favourite film - the truth is, everyone is jealous of Dhurandhar)." His witty comment drew laughter from the audience.

Adding to the humour, he joked, "Bomb film mein phootein Lyari mein, par dhuan udaa hai Bandra se Juhu mein (Bombs may have gone off in Lyari, but the smoke is rising all the way from Bandra to Juhu)," which was met with cheers and laughter at the event.

Dhurandhar 2, headlined by Ranveer Singh, has achieved remarkable commercial success. The film has crossed Rs 1,000 crore nett domestically and over Rs 1,600 crore gross worldwide. It has been running successfully for 18 days in theatres, breaking numerous box office records across Bollywood.

The film's unprecedented run and box office performance have set new standards in the industry, with audiences continuing to flock to cinemas nationwide.

Zakir Khan's light-hearted roast reflected the buzz and excitement surrounding Dhurandhar 2, capturing the mood of both the industry and fans alike.
