'Lot Of Sacrifice': Dhurandhar 2 Actor Danish Iqbal Lauds Ranveer Singh's 'Next Level Dedication' | Exclusive

Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: The Revenge has been on a dream run at the box office, emerging as one of the biggest successes in recent times. The actor’s performance, in particular, has drawn widespread praise from across the industry. Now, his Dhurandhar 2 co-star, Danish Iqbal, who played Bade Sahab, has joined the chorus. Speaking exclusively to The Daily Jagran, he lauded Singh’s 'next level dedication' and commended the remarkable transformation he brought to his role, highlighting the effort and intensity he invested in the film.

Ranveer Singh did much more than simply memorise his lines in preparation for the part, according to Danish Iqbal. He emphasised the actor's remarkable physical change, highlighting the sharp contrast between Hamza and the younger Jaskirat.

"Bahut mehnat karke tayari karte the woh. Aur not just lines. In fact, if you see his transformation in terms of look and his body. The younger Jaskirat and Hamza. Such a huge difference. And aise bolna aasaan hai. But when you have to lose weight and gain weight, it takes lot of time, lot of eating and lot of sacrifice. Lot of hard work, lot of workout. So, I mean, ya. Us dono look ko change karne bhi unhe kaafi waqt laga. Aur mental preparation kaafi strong karne. He's throughout. Hamza is throughout (sic)."

Ranveer Singh had worked incredibly hard, devoting almost 2.5 to 3 years to the project, according to Danish Iqbal. This demonstrated a truly exceptional commitment that was worthy of recognition. "Bahut mehnat kari unhone. And 2.5-3 saal toh unhone aur kuch soche hi nahi hai. Sirf isi ke baare mein karte-karte saara. Hats off to him. It's a next-level dedication."

Danish Iqbal also talked about the working atmosphere on the sets of Dhurandhar, saying there used to be some lighter moments on the sets. "Aisa nahi ki sirf 10th scene hai, sirf tense scene rahega. But then, haan, we had to switch on, switch off. Otherwise din bhar toh stress zyada ho jayega. Aur jab aapke aas paas itne talented log hote hain toh, unke experiences share karna, unki baatein, shooting ki baatein. Bada healthy environment tha (sic)."
