Tigmanshu Dhulia says Dhurandhar has ‘no story’, still praises its Part 1

<p>Ranveer Singh’s roaring performance in <i>Dhurandhar </i>not only shattered box-office records but also reminded audiences why he remains one of Bollywood’s most dynamic performers. As the action blockbuster continues to dominate headlines, producer Jyoti Deshpande has finally opened up about the real reason why Ranveer was chosen for Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller.</p><h2>Jyoti Deshpande on casting Ranveer Singh</h2><p>In a recent conversation with <i>Outlook Business</i>, <i>Dhurandhar </i>producer and Jio Studios CEO Jyoti Deshpande opened up about the decision to cast Ranveer Singh as the film’s lead. She said, "There were no safe things we could do because it was already an expensive film to shoot. Now, if we added expensive actors as well, it was going to render the film unviable on day one."</p>

<p>Stating her choice of picking performers over so-called actors, Deshpande said, "So we wanted performers rather than the so-called stars… I had worked with Ranveer on Ram-Leela and Bajirao Mastani, when he wasn’t this big. So I had worked with him when he was starting out, and I still believe those are some of my favourite films of Ranveer Singh. I find him an absolutely outstanding actor who gives it all. He transforms into a character. I love that about him, the fact that he is not Ranveer Singh in that film. When he has to become Bajirao, he becomes Bajirao. When he has to become Khilji, he becomes Khilji. When he has to become Gully Boy, he becomes Gully Boy. So he transforms; he doesn’t play Ranveer Singh.”</p><h2>Jyoti Deshpande recalls the efforts of everyone involved in Dhurandhar</h2><p>For the much-acclaimed project with Aditya Dhar, Deshpande shared how everyone in the crew wanted the film to hit the ground. She shared, "Dhurandhar is a project that overran multiple times, and I indulged it every time. I reinvented it. You know, somehow one part became two parts, but we found a way… there was mad conviction. Everyone was involved. Aditya Dhar, to begin with. And Ranveer Singh, the actor, who went all in and did nothing else for the duration of the film."</p>

Saif Ali Khan has joined the growing list of celebrities praising Dhurandhar. The actor reflects on the film's impact on Bollywood, describing it as revolutionary.

The excitement surrounding Aditya Dhar’s acclaimed spy thriller Dhurandhar shows no sign of slowing, as Saif Ali Khan has joined the list of Bollywood stars praising the film. Reflecting on the impact Dhurandhar has had since its theatrical release, the actor lauded its grand scale, gripping narrative, catchy soundtracks, and standout performances, calling it revolutionary. Saif Ali Khan lauds Dhurandhar In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, the Kartavya star shed light on Ranveer Singh’s gritty thriller, Dhurandhar and how the film has changed the dynamics in the film industry. He stated, “I see a time before Dhurandhar and a time after. It's up to us whether we catch up or not and wake up or not. It seems like an obvious idea to make amazing music rather than creating a new album for each film, and to draw on all kinds of things from all around the world, while not being too frightened of English also.” Also Read: Dhurandhar set for Japan release; Ranveer Singh invites audiences to the 'biggest indian movie of all time' Khan also talked about the item number song, “Shararat,” which featured Ayesha Khan and Krystle D'Souza. “Something as revolutionary as that- imagine if that were to change the way of hiring a beautiful leading lady to do an 'item' for you. If you just treat it as a song and have these two girls performing as you would in a wedding, it doesn't jar the eyes at all,” the actor said.
