When asked whether he would tone down the violent elements if he were directing Dhurandhar, Prem Chopra explained that cinema responds to what audiences enjoy. At the same time, he admitted that he might have approached certain aspects differently

Veteran actor Prem Chopra shared his views on how Hindi cinema has evolved over the years and pointed out that storytelling today is different from the emotionally driven films of earlier decades. Speaking about the shift from the era of stars like Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan to today’s high-intensity spectacles, Chopra said that audience preferences and changing trends have played a major role in shaping modern filmmaking.

During a conversation with entertainment journalist Vickey Lalwani, the actor spoke about Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar. Chopra revealed that he watched the first installment of the film and found it engaging, though he felt it ran longer than necessary.
