'It's rare to see Ranveer Singh off-camera. He disappears. He doesn't like to be on set. Only when the shot is ready, he is there. He doesn't want any nonsense, no interaction. If anything would go wrong, he would really get pissed. He doesn't like noise and would tell everyone on the mic to be quiet. Ranveer loves to work, so he would keep telling everyone to be dedicated.'
Director Aditya Dhar expressed profound gratitude to cinematographer Vikash Nowlakha, crediting him as 'the eye, the instinct, and the soul behind Dhurandhar' for his unwavering dedication and emotional intelligence that brought the blockbuster film to life.

At a fan event on Reddit recently, Ranbir Kapoor confirmed that Brahmastra 2 is 'heavy into writing'.
'What's amazing is that many of his fans are not Indians.' 'Even in countries where they don't speak or understand Hindi, Shah Rukh is hugely popular.'

Arijit Singh is all set to make history.
Shah Rukh comes at a crucial point in the film.

Hrithik Roshan or Ranveer Singh will play the male lead.
'I did get a coach to learn Telugu and I did learn the language for my role in RRR.' 'But I don't know if they are keeping my voice. If they aren't, it's because the emotion in the scenes must not be compromised by the spoken lines.'

It was a lull period for Bollywood in August as none of the new releases could work at the box office, hope that it turns around in September.
