He wrote, "Juhu - Bandra peeps have given all ATBBs (all-time blockbusters) since the past 50 years. You have to be a real duffer to undermine their contribution." Many felt the Bandra-Juhu statement was in response to Zakir claiming that film fraternity people living in these suburbs were rankled by Dhurandhar's success. Speaking at the Screen Awards 2026 recently, the comedian had said, "Bomb film mein foote Lyari mein par dhuan udaa hai Bandra se Juhu mein (There were bomb blasts in Lyari in the film, but there was smoke between Bandra and Juhu)." Social media users were quick to connect the dots, flooding the conversation with their own takes and reactions. "This tweet proves Zakir's joke, though," one wrote, with another sharing, "This post only amplifies what Zakir Khan said." "At first, I somewhat agreed that something like this might be true. Now I'm 200% sure what Zakir Khan said about Dhurandhar," one shared. On Monday, Ameesha Patel also responded to Zakir's remarks. Taking to her X account, Ameesha said, "Dude, stop spreading NEGATIVITY! film industry has valued and respected DHURANDHAR! Superstars like SRK, Salman, Sunny, Hrithik, Ajay etc have given not just 1 but 25 plus mega hits and will continue to do so. Chill. Gadar bahut saalon se sabne already machai hain aur aage bhi machaayenge (They have shown their power for several years and will do so in the future as well)." "Kitne hi congratulatory post aap daal de, kitne hi story daalde, kitne hi interview mein aap bolde my favourite film, magar sach toh yeh hai ke Dhurandhar se sabki jali toh hai (You may drop congratulatory messages and stories and say in interviews that it's your favourite film, but the truth is everyone got jealous of Dhurandhar)," Zakir is seen saying in the video.
