Ranveer Singh is back with a bang with the power-packed trailer of Dhurandhar. The trailer was released on Tuesday, setting the Internet abuzz with reactions. During the trailer launch event, director Aditya Dhar said that Ranveer Singh and his team worked for 16–18 hours a day for one and a half years on the film. Aditya Dhar’s revelation comes at a time when Ranveer Singh’s wife and actress Deepika Padukone has been advocating an 8-hour shift. After embracing motherhood, Deepika has exited two high-profile projects — Kalki 2 and Spirit — due to work-hour demands and other issues.

Speaking at the trailer launch, Aditya said, “When we started this journey, there was a gap of five years when I hadn’t made a film, and when I started writing, somehow, I started getting hold of people who were there to prove themselves. Our teaser has a dialogue, ‘ghayal hu toh ghatak hu,’ so all of them were ‘ghayal’ (injured), but they performed in a very ghatak (deadly) way. It’s extraordinary.”

He added, “Everybody has put their heart and soul into the film, and it doesn’t happen very often. The HODs got involved in the film with pure intent. From actors, assistants, and HODs to spot dadas — everybody was like iss film ke liye jaan deni hai (We will give our lives for this film). We have worked for 16–18 hours continuously for 1.5 years, and not even once has anyone complained ki sir aap hamse zyada kaam kara rahe ho (Sir, you are making us work more). Everybody has given their 100%.”
