\"'Hamza Ranveer Singh<\/a> is currently getting a lot of love for his portrayal of Hamza and Jaskirat in the ‘Dhurandhar’ franchise. However, the actor also left a lasting impression with his intense portrayal of Alauddin Khilji<\/a> in ‘Padmaavat<\/a>‘, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. In a recent conversation, Ranveer’s business partner and SuperYou co-founder Nikunj Biyani opened up about the sheer intensity of Ranveer\u2019s performance, revealing that the role of Hamza pushed the actor even further than Khilji.Praising the film, Nikunj said in an interview with MensXP, \u201cI saw Dhurandhar on the first day, first show for both the films. I loved it. ‘Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge’, for me, was the best film of all time. I enjoyed part one as well, but part two was something else. I didn\u2019t want to get out of my seat even to pee. I was like, I won\u2019t even blink\u2014just look at him, it\u2019s insane.\u201d <\/p>\n

He said, \u2018This character (Hamza) has been way more challenging for me as an artist; it has taken so much more out of me. I had to go deep and give it 300 per cent; it has been very demanding.\u2019 And when you see it, you\u2019re like, what was this? He has proven he\u2019s the GOAT. It\u2019s a fact, he is insane.\u201dInterestingly, when Ranveer had taken on Khilji in ‘Padmaavat’, he had gone to great lengths to embody the character, including isolating himself for 21 days and immersing himself in a dark mental space. The film went on to become a massive success, earning around \u20b9585 crore worldwide, while his performance was widely applauded.The ‘Dhurandhar’ franchise, directed by Aditya Dhar, has since become a major box office force. The story follows Hamza, an Indian agent who infiltrates Pakistan\u2019s Lyari underworld and gradually climbs the ranks to dismantle terror networks targeting India.As a two-part saga, the franchise has crossed the Rs 3,000 crore mark globally. The first instalment, released in December 2025, collected around Rs 1,300 crore worldwide, while the sequel went even further, earning over Rs 1,700 crore globally. It also crossed Rs 1,000 crore in India alone, becoming the first Bollywood film to achieve that milestone. Even as the initial frenzy settles, the film continues to hold strong at the box office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ranveer Singh is currently getting a lot of love for his portrayal of Hamza and Jaskirat in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":420565,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[82519,184147,184148,321,82522,163894,93,169581,61,60,184146,108985,6155,59331],"class_list":{"0":"post-420564","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-aditya-dhar","9":"tag-alauddin-khilji","10":"tag-bharat-box-office","11":"tag-celebrities","12":"tag-dhurandhar","13":"tag-dhurandhar-franchise","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-hamza","16":"tag-ie","17":"tag-ireland","18":"tag-khilji","19":"tag-padmaavat","20":"tag-ranveer-singh","21":"tag-superhero-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=420564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420564\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/420565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=420564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=420564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=420564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
