Dhurandhar Director Denies Himachal Move After ₹3,000 Cr Run

Aditya Dhar’s team has denied reports that the director and his wife, Yami Gautam, plan to leave Mumbai and make Himachal Pradesh their permanent home. The response, given to Screen, was brief: “No. Who is sending this story?”

What was being claimed

The speculation emerged from an NDTV report that cited a source close to the couple. It suggested that Yami’s connection to Himachal Pradesh – her hometown state – was pulling the family towards a quieter life there. The report went a step further with specifics, saying she had purchased a 100-year-old heritage house and a 25-acre plot in Gohar. Aditya’s team has now rejected those claims outright.

The couple has mostly stayed out of the personal-news cycle. They met on Uri: The Surgical Strike in 2019, married in 2021, and welcomed their son Ved in 2024 around the release of Article 370. That track record makes a sudden, detailed property story feel out of character – and now officially denied.

Why the rumour arrived now

Success makes a story travel. Aditya’s two Dhurandhar films, released three months apart, have collectively crossed ₹3,000 crore at the global box office. That level of reach brings a different kind of attention: fans and outlets begin speculating about everything beyond the next release.

• Reported: a permanent shift to Himachal Pradesh, a heritage house and a 25-acre Gohar plot
• Denied: Aditya Dhar’s team says the claims are untrue
• Fact: the two Dhurandhar films have crossed ₹3,000 crore globally
• Fact: Yami won Best Actress and Aditya won Best Feature Film at the 72nd National Film Awards

What the family is actually celebrating

The National Film Awards ceremony was held in Gujarat on September 22. Yami took Best Actress for Article 370, while Aditya received Best Feature Film for the same film. At home, Yami’s sister Surilie shared an emotional YouTube video of the family celebrating with flowers, hugs and besan ka halwa. That, rather than any property purchase, is the confirmed headline.

Why fans should care

For Hindi film fans, home-base stories are not just gossip; they shape the narrative around a star’s next phase. If a leading actor were moving away from Mumbai, it would affect availability, promotional schedules and premiere appearances. The denial matters because it resets expectations ahead of Yami’s October 16 release and Aditya’s next phase after the ₹3,000-crore duology.

It also serves as a small reminder: detailed “insider” reports about celebrity property often arrive without paperwork, and in this case the team’s response is a flat rejection.

What to watch next

For viewers, the next real date is cinematic. Yami’s Nayii Naveli is slated to open in theatres on October 16. Until then, the Himachal story is best treated as unverified – and, according to Aditya’s team, simply not true.
