Did Imran Khan indirectly poke fun at Dhurandhar The Revenge? The actor initiated an AMA on Reddit when a fan requested him to not take on macho roles in his upcoming movies. Reacting to his fan's request, Khan noted, "Yeah, no interest in playing a hairy, angry man covered in blood. I think that genre is generously represented." It is pertinent to note that Imran did not name Ranbir Kapoor or Ranveer Singh in his response.
Another fan wrote, "You were one of the few actors who portrayed a ‘good man’ as calm, kind and emotionally intelligent. Today, a lot of mainstream Bollywood heroes are loud, aggressive and often glorify violence or problematic behaviour toward women. How do you see this shift as an actor? Do you think this is just a phase or a deeper change in storytelling? And do you see space for more grounded, sensitive male characters to return?"

Replying to this, the Mere Brother Ki Dulhan actor said, "I have also noticed this trend and am disturbed by the way these films coddle every violent tantrum thrown by emotionally immature man-children who can’t conceive of a valid reason that a woman might spurn their advances. Important to note that there’s a significant difference between portraying violence and toxicity and validating them. I see it as people chasing a trend without consideration. My own sensibilities would not permit me to participate in a narrative which I consider to be irresponsible."
