"Dhurandhar" Success: Viral Video Shows 'Real Lyari,' Sindh Plans Counter Film

• Ranveer Singh's hit film Dhurandhar, set in Karachi's Lyari Town, has sparked a viral video tour of the 'real Lyari.'
• Content creator Maryam Khatri's video showcases Lyari's vibrant culture, busy streets, and facilities, contrasting with the film's portrayal.
• Dhurandhar depicted Lyari as a hub for gang wars and terror, with its set recreated in Bangkok, not filmed on location.
• The Sindh government announced 'Mera Lyari,' a film releasing in Jan 2026, to counter Dhurandhar's "misrepresentation" and show Lyari's true image.
• Dhurandhar Part 2 is set for release on March 19, potentially reigniting discussions about Lyari's portrayal.
