\"\u2018Ranveer Prashant Narayanan<\/a>, who is known for his villainous role in Emraan Hashmi starrer Murder 2, has shared a candid take on Ranveer Singh<\/a>‘s Dhurandhar, praising the craft of the film but questioning whether its full potential was realised.Calling it a \u201cwell-made film\u201d, Prashant said he expected a stronger impact.\u201cIt’s a well-made film. But the impact that it could have created has not been exploited enough. I feel that it could have,\u201d he told Bollywood Bubble. <\/p>\n

Drawing a comparison with his own debut film Chhal, he added, \u201cIt\u2019s a basic concept of a film which I had done, my first film, Chhal. It\u2019s about this guy who\u2019s infiltrating a gang, but he\u2019s a cop, you know, and how he destroys the gang. That\u2019s the basic concept of Dhurandhar also.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Ranveer is too eye-catching\u2019<\/p>\n

Speaking about Ranveer Singh\u2019s performance, Prashant was both appreciative and analytical.\u201cI think Ranveer is an extremely brave actor. Ranveer is somebody who has done so many different things, like right from Band Baaja Baaraat, so many things that he\u2019s done including Gully Boy,\u201d he said, praising the actor\u2019s diverse filmography.However, he felt the character\u2019s subtlety could have been handled differently.\u201cFor me, I felt that the inconspicuousness… if that had been maintained. He\u2019s too eye-catching. He\u2019s too attractive, right? You know what I mean? I relate too because he was so handsome in the film. He\u2019s looking so good and tough and those tight kurtas and, you know, the bulging things, contact lenses, long hair. It is too eye-catching.\u201dAccording to Prashant, when a character is meant to infiltrate, blending in becomes crucial.<\/p>\n

\u2018Not the big roles, but the smaller characters caught my attention\u2019<\/p>\n

Prashant also pointed out that some of the supporting performances stood out more to him.\u201cI loved what Gaurav did. I loved what Akshay\u2019s father did. Akshaye Khanna<\/a>\u2019s father \u2014 I liked him so much,\u201d he said, referring to Akshaye Khanna\u2019s character.\u201cThere was this other actor who was there who was eating that apple and he throws it… See, these are like the people who have done a good job in that film. Not the people who have been assigned big roles. I thought it was all normal stuff, you know, it was nothing. But these are the people who caught my attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018I don\u2019t have the right to demean anyone\u2019<\/p>\n

Addressing whether his remarks about Padmaavat ever led to a reaction from Ranveer or his team, Prashant clarified that there was no backlash.\u201cNo. I think they understood my intention of what I’m saying. I’m not trying to demean anybody. I don’t have the right to do that. And I will never do that also.\u201dHe added that his point was about influence and responsibility.\u201cI just felt that, you know, because of the position that he is in, him saying things like that can influence people… You’re an influential person. You’re powerful. So don’t say all these things when it’s not required.\u201d Prashant concluded by reiterating his respect for Ranveer, calling him \u201cone of the bravest actors\u201d in the industry, while maintaining that his comments were strictly about craft and impact \u2014 not personal criticism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prashant Narayanan, who is known for his villainous role in Emraan Hashmi starrer Murder 2, has shared a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291629,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[44792,78488,106144,146,85,46,148362,148358,148359,148360,148361,14446,103621],"class_list":{"0":"post-291628","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-akshaye-khanna","9":"tag-dhurandhar","10":"tag-dhurandhar-review","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-il","13":"tag-israel","14":"tag-murder-2-actor-prashant-narayanan","15":"tag-prashant-narayanan","16":"tag-prashant-narayanan-reviews-dhurandhar","17":"tag-prashant-narayanan-reviews-ranveer-singh-performance","18":"tag-prashant-narayanan-slams-ranveer-singh","19":"tag-ranveer-singh","20":"tag-ranveer-singh-dhurandhar"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291628\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
