Internet Buzz Over 14-Year-Old Cricket Prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's Adult Film Pick: 'Dhurandhar'
NEW DELHI: In a surprising revelation at the BCCI Naman Awards 2026, 14-year-old cricket sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi named the Bollywood blockbuster Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, as his favorite movie. The innocent comment quickly went viral, but it also ignited a wave of online discussions about the film's adult rating.
While many fans appreciated the young prodigy's candid choice, social media users swiftly pointed out that Dhurandhar carries an 'A' rating, restricting it to viewers above 18 in theaters. The film's massive popularity across audiences made Sooryavanshi's endorsement all the more attention-grabbing. Even his IPL franchise, Rajasthan Royals, capitalized on the moment by incorporating a reference from the movie into their social media content.
Sooryavanshi's Cricket Ambitions Shine Bright
Beyond the movie controversy, Sooryavanshi's focus remains firmly on cricket. At the awards event, he shared his aspirations for the upcoming IPL 2026 season: "The goal is to win the trophy for the team this season. If we win the trophy, it will benefit the entire franchise as well as my own performance. My aim is to contribute as much as I can to help the team lift the trophy."
Sooryavanshi has already etched his name in history with remarkable feats. He delivered a breathtaking 175-run innings in the Under-19 World Cup final, leading India to victory and earning him the title of the tournament's top performer.
Balancing Books and Boundaries
Amid his rising stardom, Sooryavanshi faced a hiccup in his academic life, missing a Class 10 CBSE board exam due to cricket commitments. His school principal clarified the situation: "He is absent today. He has not come to the examination centre. We have marked him absent according to the policy of CBSE... If a student is absent, we have to mark him absent... We were expecting him to come and give the examination, but there are many other obligations. There could be a cricket match or a practice... I think he will definitely take the next exam."
As he gears up for IPL 2026, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continues to be one of India's most promising young talents, blending prodigious skill on the field with the challenges of growing up in the spotlight.
