Chitrangda Singh Says Films Like 'Dhurandhar' Skew Male Because of 'Biology,' Calls for More Female Action Leads

Her remarks land during renewed focus on the ultra-violent Dhurandhar franchise triggered by a new sequel teaser.

Overview

  • In a Hindustan Times interview, Singh said women are often not written into extreme action roles for biological reasons plus social constraints.
  • She argued that, when the story supports it, female-led action can be unexpectedly powerful and result in “amazing cinema.”
  • She acknowledged some audiences may dislike her framing while describing it as reflective of current industry realism.
  • She pointed to recent brutal action titles and praised Katrina Kaif’s “phenomenal” towel-fight sequence in Tiger 3.
  • The discussion arrives as a new teaser for Dhurandhar: The Revenge from the 2025 hit known for grotesque violence showcases Ranveer Singh with Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt.
