Mumbai: Actress Yami Gautam is reportedly set to make a special cameo appearance in its highly-anticipated sequel, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, directed by her husband, Aditya Dhar.
Multiple reports have described her role as action-packed and pivotal to the film’s narrative, despite being a cameo. “Yami’s role is action-packed and extremely crucial to the narrative. She has already shot for nearly five days, and though it’s a cameo, it’s an important part that will leave the audience amazed,” a source was quoted as saying by Pinkvilla.
The news quickly spread across social media and online platforms. While many fans expressed enthusiasm about Yami’s casting, others sparked discussions around nepotism.
One Reddit user joked, “Yeh script ki nahi, ghar ki demand thi (This was house’s demand not script).”
Another commented, “This is also a type of nepotism—casting his wife in his films and her brother as the editor, and promoting him during launches.”
Another wrote, “Kind of expected. Yami basking in nepo wife privileges.”
A user questioned, “No comments on nepotism now?”
A section of users defended the casting, saying, “Totally deserved. There’s nothing wrong with using connections.”
Another commented, “In Dhurandhar credits, it mentioned ‘special thanks’ to Yami Gautam, so it was obvious she would have a cameo.”
