He shared a photo with Dhar on social media and spoke about his dedication, calling it inspiring and rare. Along with the photo, the post also included a long note for the filmmaker calling him a genius. "I've known you for so many years. We were supposed to start your first film-that didn't happen. Then your second-again, that didn't happen. Years later, we found our way back, worked together on 370, and even after that, things didn't always fall into place. And then... Dhurandhar happened. I have seen you closely over the years, but I had no idea that the person I knew was actually a genius-truly a genius. The way you've made this film... the detailing, the conviction, the emotion... but more than that, the way you respect every single person around you, the love you give, and the love you receive-it's something rare. And now the entire country is seeing it, feeling it, and talking about you. And you know the best part... while we were working on the film, you kept saying, 'You'll see... you'll see what I'm going to do.' You kept pushing your own boundaries, saying that you'll make sure everyone talks about this film. And you did it. You said it... and you actually did it."
