Bollywood actress Yami Gautam, praised recently for her performance in Haq, is reportedly set for a special action-packed cameo in her husband Aditya Dhar’s upcoming film, Dhurandhar: The Revenge. News of her involvement has stirred conversation online, with fans weighing in on Reddit about nepotism and casting practices in Bollywood.
Yami Gautam’s Role in Dhurandhar 2
According to Pinkvilla, Yami’s cameo is not just a brief appearance—it is “action-packed and crucial to the narrative.” Sources added that Yami has already completed nearly five days of shooting, and though the role is technically a cameo, it is designed to leave a strong impression on the audience. This marks another collaboration between Yami and her husband Aditya Dhar, following films such as Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dhoom Dhaam, and Article 370.
Reddit Reacts: Nepotism or Well-Deserved Cameo?
The news sparked mixed reactions on Reddit:
- One user humorously wrote:
“Yeh script ki nahi, ghar ki demand thi (This was house’s demand, not the script).”
- Another added:
“This is also a type of nepotism—casting his wife in his films and her brother as the editor, and promoting him during launches.”
- Some users criticized the move as “basking in nepo wife privileges.”
However, other fans defended Yami:
- “Totally deserved. There’s nothing wrong with using connections,” commented one user.
- Another noted:
“In Dhurandhar credits, it mentioned ‘special thanks’ to Yami Gautam, so it was obvious she would have a cameo.”
