It`s been a long wait for a Ranveer Singh film. The actor`s last full-fledged film was the 2023 hit Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and a brief cameo in Singham Again last year. Now, Ranveer is set to switch gears from the adorable Rocky and unleash hell in Dhurandhar. The first look of the upcoming film directed by Aditya Dhar was unveiled on Sunday. It gives a peek into the thrilling universe of the film with generous parts of action, thrill, and violence.
Dhurandhar first look
The asset was released on Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh’s birthday on Sunday. Although Ranveer`s look is resemblance of his Khilji character from Padmaavat, he manages to stand out with his act. The film also features R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt and Akshaye Khanna.
The asset is 2-minute-40 seconds, and is a raw, relentless visual onslaught, blending mystery, grit, and high-octane action. It is set to a powerful composition, created by Shashwat, with vocals by Jasmine Sandlas and a special collaboration by Hanumankind, the acclaimed new-age artist whose distinctive, genre-blending style brings an unexpected edge to the track.
What catches the eye in the video asset is R Madhavan’s look, which presumably is inspired from India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.
