Director Ram Gopal Varma recently speculated on social media that the sequel to Dhurandhar – titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge – could be bigger than the first film. Reacting to the statement, actor Danish Pandor, who plays Uzair Baloch in the film, said that he believes the sequel actually has the potential to raise the bar further.Responding to Varma’s prediction in his interaction with Faridoon Shehryar, Danish said, “I can vouch for it. It has the material to be a bigger hit. There are a lot of things happening in the story and it is beautifully written by Aditya sir.” While he refrained from revealing more details, the actor described Dhurandhar 2 in one word – “Crazy”.
“The 11/26 series was emotionally exhausting.”
Danish also spoke about one of the most emotional parts of the film.
According to him, the scene inspired by the 2008 Mumbai attacks was particularly difficult to film.Recalling that moment, he said the atmosphere on the sets became heavy when Major Iqbal’s character turned back and the cheers started. “It was emotionally exhausting for everyone,” Danish said, adding that the impact deepens when the character played by Ranveer Singh realizes the gravity of the situation and that he cannot undo what happened.
Danish explained that hearing the actual vocal tone associated with the attack made the moment even more disturbing. “When you hear the actual conversation between terrorists and their officials, you feel horrified,” he said. “We heard about it earlier through journalists, but listening to the real recording makes you more sympathetic.”He added: “As a character I had to play my part, but as a Danish character, I felt bad.”
“Reading the script left me in awe.”
The actor also recalled his first reaction after reading the script of the film Dhurandhar, which he directed
