@AdityaDharFilms Now post on Rakesh Bedi

Here’s to Mukesh Chhabra, the man who saw Dhurandhar long before I truly did. There are people who come into a film and do their job and then there are people who quietly reshape the film itself. Mukesh was the latter. From the very first narration, he believed in the scale, the ambition, the sheer possibility of Dhurandhar far more than I did. Where I was cautious, he was fearless. Where I was thinking within limits, he pushed me to think bigger, not just in numbers, but in depth, in detail, in truth. The casting of this film was never going to be easy. The sheer number of actors, the range of characters, the responsibility of getting every single face right, it was overwhelming. But Mukesh and his team just went all guns blazing. My only brief to him was simple: bring me great actors, new or old, big or small, it doesn’t matter.
And he turned that into a mission. What followed were endless days and nights, sitting together, breaking down every character, debating, exploring, rejecting, discovering. Conversations that didn’t feel like work but like building something brick by brick with absolute honesty. For him, casting was never about filling roles, it was about finding people who belonged. Even for the smallest part, he went just as deep, just as far, making sure every person on screen felt real, lived-in, and true to the world. But beyond the craft, what I found in him was something even more rare, a friend, a well-wisher, a brother. Someone who stood by the film with complete faith, even when mine wavered. I truly hope this film makes people realise the power of casting, one of the most crucial, yet often overlooked aspects of filmmaking. It can make a film or break it. And it’s unfortunate that our industry still doesn’t celebrate casting directors the way it should. This film carries your choices in every single frame Mukesh! Endless gratitude, respect and love for you.❤️

@BollyGup Similar thing happened in the Indian cricket team, wherein until 2000 the majority of cricketers were from 2-3 states. Then cricketers like Dhoni, Sehwag, etc. started coming from comparatively smaller places.

Arre Sid, thoda zyada ho gaya 😄 Juhu–Bandra ko “sole hit factory” bolna sounds more like a punchline than reality. No one’s denying their contribution, but Zakir Khan was clearly talking about a bigger, evolving cinema culture. And honestly, with Dhurandhar already shaking things up and putting the whole spy universe in a bit of jeopardy, thodi jealousy bhi samajh aati hai 😉 End of the day, hits don’t come from pin codes… they come from stories that actually land #ChetakScreenAwards2026

@AdityaDharFilms @shashwatology @B62Studios @jiostudios 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 So you gave only 15 days to Shashwat for Dhurundhar music - BAD planning 🤣🤣

Here’s to Shashwat Sachdev. Some collaborations go beyond work, they become deeply personal.
Sha has been that for me. Not just the music composer of Dhurandhar but someone I see as a younger brother, someone I’ve shared chaos, silence, ideas and some of the most intense creative days with. What he’s done on this film still doesn’t feel real when I say it out loud.
9 songs in 9 days for Dhurandhar Part 1, with the entire BGM done in 6 days. And then Dhurandhar Part 2, 14 songs in 11 days, BGM in 3. At that speed, at that scale, with that kind of emotional depth and that kind of extraordinary quality, it’s beyond crazy.
And what makes it even more unreal is how both the albums, released within a span of 3 months, reached top global charts, with almost every song being loved and celebrated, something that’s an absolute rarity for any film in the world. For almost 15 days, my house stopped being a house. It became a living, breathing studio. Every room had something going on, music in the living room, recordings in the bedrooms, writing in the balconies. Singers and musicians walking in and out endlessly. Days and nights just blending into each other. 21–22 hour stretches, no real sense of time, just a shared madness to get it right. And right at the center of all of it was Sha. Holding everything together. Creating, composing, guiding, reacting, evolving, all at once. There were days he was unwell, running on barely any sleep, dealing with health scares but he still showed up fully, without compromise, without slowing down.
That kind of resilience is rare. Having the legendary Irshad Kamil Sir alongside, and a team that gave everything they had, pushed this into something even more special.
Everyone went into absolute God mode. And through all that chaos, Magic (Sha’s better half) was the anchor, keeping things steady, holding the energy together when everything could have easily fallen apart. What makes Sha truly special is not just his talent. It’s his hunger. His refusal to settle. His instinct to keep digging until something feels honest. He doesn’t chase easy, he chases truth in every note. That kind of commitment doesn’t come from skill alone. It comes from love.
Love to achieve God through music. And you can feel that love in every second of Dhurandhar. Always grateful. Always rooting for you. ❤️

@AdityaDharFilms @B62Studios @jiostudios Great to see team appreciation - never heard from any of the directors previously One message for the music director also

Here’s to Vikash Nowlakha, the eye, the instinct, and the soul behind Dhurandhar. He was the last HOD to come on board Dhurandhar. Just a few days before we began. And knowing how deeply selective he is, that timing meant everything. It felt less like onboarding a cinematographer, and more like destiny quietly stepping in at the right moment. I still remember what he said after reading the script, “I’ve waited 30 years to do a film like this. I’ll give my life to it.” And he meant every word. What followed was not just work, it was devotion. Through impossible schedules, through chaos that often felt unmanageable, through shooting what was essentially two films in the time and cost of one Vikash stood at the center of it all, steady and relentless. Carrying the weight of the film quite literally on his shoulders, pushing through the burning heat of Amritsar and the harsh cold of Leh, he never once let the vision falter. But what makes Vikash truly rare is not just his endurance, it’s the soul in his gaze. His eye for detail, his emotional intelligence behind the lens, his ability to understand not just what a scene looks like, but what it feels like, that is where his genius lies. Every frame in Dhurandhar breathes because he allowed it to. He didn’t just capture moments, he gave them life. His inputs on set were never loud, but always precise. Always truthful. Always elevating the film. There are many who shoot films. Vikash lived this one. And in doing so, he has given Dhurandhar something that cannot be manufactured, a soul. I feel immense gratitude, respect, and affection for the artist he is, and the human being he brought into this journey. This film carries his imprint forever. And I know this is only the beginning, the stories we will tell together from here on will go even further, shine even brighter, and create something truly timeless. ❤️

Congrats to @shashwatology - great music. I watched your interview where you mentioned, “Your job was to interpret @AdityaDharFilms’ text.” Great insight. Ultimate creativity. Super conviction by @AdityaDharFilms to keep all the songs in the movie. The dialogue “Ghayal hoon isliye ghatak hoon” is applicable to the entire team of #Dhurundhar. Very happy for all the accolades that the team members are getting for their respective parts.

A thunderous takeover on @AppleMusic charts! ⚔️💥

@clubprairiefire @RaviShastriOfc @gilly381 @MichaelVaughan @professorjroch @RaviShastriOfc 😂😂😂😂

Everyone keep an eye 👀 on Ravi Shastri to see what cap 🧢 he wears in the coverage this week 😂 #ClubPrairieFire

What's your favourite ever Nasser moment?

@englandcricket @nassercricket - Happy Birthday, Nass! 💐🎁 Oh, so you used to play cricket too? I thought you’d been doing broadcasting only from the beginning 😂.

A hundred and the winning runs in his final innings! 👏🎉 Happy Birthday to Nasser Hussain! 🎂

Hi Demis – That's a good option. However, I would like to highlight that the absence of grouping similar chats into folders or projects makes it really cumbersome to use. Please add this functionality to Gemini. Although Gemini is good (better than other options), without this simple feature, it's not very useful.

Now it’s even easier to switch to the @GeminiApp ! 😎

@radhika_bajaj In the movie also - her dad is THE Dhurandhar 🤣🤣

Sara Arjun’s husband in the movie is a Dhurandhar, but Sara Arjun’s dad in the cricket world is THE Dhurandhar.

@imashishsrrk Bhai thora aaram toh karne do Aditya Dhar ko 😂😂😂

I Am Already Seated For Ashwathama 🔥 Now ADITYA DHAR has Everything .... Money , scale , Vision, Time and Script For Ashwathama 🔥 Who Will be The LEAD Actor )

@rwac48 The Author and the Publisher are very very smart - Playing 4D Chess With Your Emotions! They KNEW You’d Fall For It @ShekharGupta ShekharGupta… is my assumption wrong?

Arjun Rampal's ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ must worry Bollywood audiences theprint.in/opinion/mumbai…

@baradwajrangan @RGVzoomin When ??????

If all had gone per plan, Ram Gopal Varma @RGVzoomin would have made SARKAR 4. But after the release of #dhurandhartherevenge, he says he cannot do it anymore. The bar has been reset. Any film can be a hit, but RGV talks about "impact" -- and that only few films achieve. He talks about specific scenes where #AdityaDhar's work stands out and contrasts it with the "impact" of his own classics (SATYA, SHIVA). He says every studio head is now asking writers for 3.5 hour films. And he talks about how he views the word "propaganda". Soon on @galattaplusoffl

@MeghUpdates 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

🚨 Just IN 🚨 Harish Rana, the first Indian allowed passive euthanasia, dies in Delhi after spending over 13 years in a coma 💔

INTERVAL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥#Dhurandhar2‌

@readswithravi But the question is what one wants—does one know what one wants to read?

An unpopular reading tip: Read what you want, not what you should.

@NetflixIndia I think you can/should create a show / movie with Sunil Grover @WhoSunilGrover in which he plays all the characters. I doubt this was done previously ever.

same actor btw 🥹❤️

@AbhishekOfficl @rohitjswl01 @AdityaDharFilms @jiostudios Is this your expectation or have you watched the movie? You are contracting yourself in the above post
