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.
