Hollywood actor John Krasinski has praised Indian cinema and said he would “love” to watch Ranveer Singh’s spy thriller Dhurandhar.
Krasinski made the comments during an interview before the release of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War on Prime Video on May 20.
The actor said Indian cinema is producing some of the “most cutting-edge” filmmaking in the world.
“I haven't seen the film. But as far as Indian films at large, some of the most cutting-edge movie making that we have. I know a lot of my filmmaking friends who are out there trying to direct movies are constantly and consistently blown away by films coming out from over there,” Krasinski told NDTV.
He also said he would like to watch Dhurandhar if he gets the chance.
“Of course. I love watching anything. It's always inspiring to see what everybody else is doing,” he said.
Krasinski returns as CIA analyst-turned-operative Jack Ryan in the latest movie of the franchise. Actors Wendell Pierce and Michael Kelly also return as former CIA boss James Greer and operative Mike November.
Krasinski also worked as co-producer and co-writer for the film’s story and screenplay.
The movie follows Jack Ryan as he fights a rogue black-ops unit. Ryan reunites with Mike November and James Greer during the mission. He also teams up with MI6 officer Emma Marlowe, played by Sienna Miller.
The film also stars Max Beesley, JJ Feild, Douglas Hodge, and Betty Gabriel.
Dhurandhar was directed by Aditya Dhar. The first film was released in theaters in December 2025. Its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, was released in March 2026.
The two films together earned more than $350-360 million worldwide.
