Casting director Mukesh Chhabra has revealed interesting insights into the casting process of Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar.

In a recent interaction, he shared that Ranveer Singh was the first and only choice for the lead role. Mukesh revealed that Ranveer was brought on board much before the rest of the cast was finalized, with the full ensemble locked only months later.

He added that Aditya Dhar was clear about his vision and saw the character of Hamza only in Ranveer, who has now given an award winning performance.

“There was no alternative,” Mukesh stated in an interview, emphasizing that the director was convinced Ranveer was perfect for the role, which ultimately shaped the film’s casting journey.
