Vijay Deverakonda says Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar’ songs dominate South Indian gyms

Veteran actor Vijay Deverakonda told reporters that the soundtrack of Ranveer Singh’s upcoming movie ‘Dhurandhar’ has become a staple in fitness centres throughout South India. He said the high‑energy numbers are being looped non‑stop, motivating gym‑goers during their workouts. The observation was made during a promotional interaction for the film, highlighting the growing popularity of its music among younger audiences. Industry insiders note that such organic reach in gyms can boost a film’s pre‑release buzz, especially in states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh. No official statement from the film’s music director has been released yet, but the trend underscores the soundtrack’s appeal.

The comment reflects a broader pattern where film songs quickly find a place in public spaces, from retail outlets to sports facilities. Fitness trainers in cities such as Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad have reportedly added the tracks to their playlists, citing the rhythmic beats as suitable for cardio sessions. While the film’s release date remains unconfirmed, the early traction of its music suggests strong audience anticipation.

Deverakonda’s remark also points to the cross‑regional influence of Bollywood‑style productions, as South Indian gym‑culture embraces a Hindi‑language soundtrack. Observers say this could translate into wider box‑office interest beyond the traditional Hindi‑speaking market.
