Finnish President Alexander Stubb’s ‘India talk’ has now become so viral that he himself is surprised. Recently he did a morning jog with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in London’s Hyde Park. Both were running with their wives Suzanne Inness Stubb and Diana Carney. Where the story of India and Bollywood film Dhurandhar broke out.
What is Stubb’s ‘Bharat wali baat’ case?
Stubb himself shared this video on X. He wrote in the caption, ‘Can’t find ice hockey rink, so nice morning run in Hyde Park. Prime Minister Mark Carney with Diana and Susan.
In the video, Carney jokingly asked Stubb, ‘How was that Insta thing of yours in India?’
Stubb said laughingly, ‘After seeing Dhurandhar, it has become very big. Then I understood that this is not a game.
Both the leaders laughed out loud. This short clip spread like wildfire on social media and people are calling it ‘Dhurandhar Effect’.

Why and how did Stubb speak of Dhurdhan?
The real thing started with Stubb’s visit to India. A few days ago, when he came to India, he had told in an interview to ANI, ‘Before coming to India, my son suggested that you see Dhurandhar. I saw. And yes, I support the fight against terrorism. Awaiting the sequel coming on March 19.
Stubb’s son’s advice and this frank comment from the President are now making the film even more popular. People are saying that the President of Finland himself is speaking, so the ‘Dhurandhar Effect’ is really working. On one hand, leaders of two big countries are talking about a Bollywood film while jogging, on the other hand, the entire social media is taking a dig at it and sharing it. This matter is very light-hearted and fun.
Dhurandhar is based on India’s spy mission
The film Dhurandhar was released in December 2025. This is a political espionage thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar. It stars Ranveer Singh, Akshay Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and R Madhavan in lead roles. The film made a record of becoming the highest grossing Indian film of 2025. People liked the mix of action, espionage and geopolitics very much. This film was very popular in India and was also discussed abroad.
Now its second part Dhurandhar: The Revenge is going to be released in theaters on 19 March 2026. Its trailer was released on March 7 and it also created a huge buzz.
