This statement made fans on social media perplexed, as it was the tone of Ranveer Singh’s film director, whose wife and actress Deepika Padukone exited two big projects – Kalki 2 and Spirit, after the makers denied her 8-hour work shift.

“When we started this journey, there was a gap of five years since I last made a film. We slowly got hold of people who wanted to prove themselves. Every actor, every HoD gave their all to the film. It is extraordinary how everyone put their heart and soul into it, which doesn’t happen very often. A lot of times, HoDs get into a project because the money is good or it is prestigious,” said Aditya about his journey of making
_Dhurandhar_.

“This was a project of absolute, pure intent of actors, HoDs, assistants, to even the spot boys. They all gave their sweat and blood for the film. Everyone worked 16 to 18 hours continuously for one and a half years, and not even once did anyone complain. Everyone has given their 100%, and that’s how the film happened,” he added.
