Meanwhile, legendary filmmaker Priyadarshan has praised Dhar for his outstanding work, even recalling his previous days as an assistant.
Priyadarshan on ex-assistant Aditya Dhar
Recently, in a conversation with India Today, Priyadarshan stated, "Some people have guts. I’ve seen both kinds of people. One is Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who made Animal, and another is Aditya Dhar. I asked them, ‘What gives you the confidence to work on a four-hour film?’ They said, ‘It will work, sir.’ It’s against all the theory of a hit film. No producer will ever allow you to make a four-hour film, but the conviction of the director is the ultimate thing."
Going further, Priyadarshan recalls Dhar's days working under him as assistant director. The veteran filmmaker said, "I never taught Aditya anything, but he learned. That is the only way we can make films. I never went to any school, I just watched films and learned from masters. In the same way, Aditya I don’t know if I taught him anything, but by being with me, he learned by himself."
