Choreographer par excellence- Vijay Ganguly. With Vijay, it always begins with instinct. He doesn’t just hear music, he feels it and then translates that feeling into something you can see. What surprised me most on Dhurandhar was how much he thinks like a director. It made my job easier in ways I didn’t expect. Maybe it’s years of experience or maybe it’s in his DNA, being the great Anil Ganguly’s son, but there’s a storyteller in him that goes beyond choreography. I still remember our conversations around “Shararat.” I wasn’t fully convinced about doing a lip-sync dance track in the film. But Vijay just smiled and said, “Let’s go for it sir, it’ll be fun.” That one push gave Shashwat and me the confidence we needed. And what came out of it is honestly one of my favorite parts of the film. That’s who he is, someone who shows up, not just physically but emotionally. Even on the toughest days his infectious smile and childlike excitement made everything feel lighter. From “Didi” to the madness of Fa9la (Flipperachi)with Akshaye Khanna, he brought heart, detail, and total commitment. He’s not just a brilliant choreographer, he’s a true team player. Grateful for you, Vijay. Rooting for everything that’s coming your way. ❤️

To my action team on Dhurandhar - Aejaz Gulab, Sea Young Oh, Yannick Ben, Ramazan Bulut and Vishal Tyagi. There’s a thin line between conviction and madness and on this film, I crossed it almost every single day. 😄 I would walk up to Aejaz bhai with ideas that even I knew sounded ridiculous the moment I said them out loud, a man being cooked inside an industrial pressure cooker, someone being dragged through the busy streets behind a bike with a noose around his neck, thirty men hanging upside down from fans and spinning at the push of a button. These weren’t just ideas, they were problems I was casually handing over to him. And every single time, the response was the same, no hesitation, no judgement, just, “Okay, let’s figure it out.” That mindset is what defines all of you. I still remember a point during the shoot where I told Aejaz bhai, “We’re running out of stuntmen, I’m seeing the same faces again.” And he just looked at me and casually replied, “There’s no one left, we’ve used almost everyone in Mumbai.” More than 400 stunt performers. Even now, that number sounds unreal. But that’s what it took. What stayed with me even more than the scale was the precision and ownership each of you brought. Mr. Sea Young Oh and his incredible team didn’t just design action, they choreographed the brilliant climaxes of both parts and built the breathlessness of the Jaskirat massacre in a way that you feel it in your chest. Yannick and Ramazan brought controlled chaos to life, from the madness of the Arshad Pappu gang war to Babu Dakait’s annihilation, every frame wild but never random. And Vishal (Baba SFX😁), the quiet backbone of so much of what we pulled off. The way you would break down an explosion, its scale, timing, height and make something so dangerous feel so precise gave all of us the confidence to push further. And through all of this was Aejaz bhai, with the support of Abbas Ali Moghul and their entire team, holding everything together and constantly pushing for better. What people won’t see is what went into making all of this possible. Mock sets built on studio floors. Days and days of rehearsals. Then reworking, then rehearsing again. We were under insane timelines, dealing with extreme conditions but the one thing we never compromised on was safety and preparation. That’s the only reason we could pull off what we did. Somewhere along the way, this stopped being just work for me. I found real friendships here. Action has always been the part of filmmaking that feels most instinctive to me. It’s where I feel at home. And with all of you, I never felt like I had to fight to be understood, you just got it and then took it further. You didn’t just execute what was written, you elevated it, challenged it, and made it better. Dhurandhar breathes the way it does because of you. Endless respect. Always grateful. ❤️

Here’s to Bishwadeep (Bishu Da) and Justin Sir, the heartbeat behind the sound of Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge. I’ve known Bishu Da since my assistant days, when I was just a curious kid, constantly asking questions about every little detail of sound. And not once did he lose patience. He would sit with me and explain every nuance, every layer, every choice. In many ways, that’s where my understanding of sound and cinema truly began. Over the years, both Bishu Da and Justin Sir have been called “veterans” but honestly, they’re like kids when it comes to their craft. Inquisitive, experimental, always pushing boundaries. Give them space and they won’t just deliver, they’ll create something extraordinary. From Uri to Dhurandhar, they’ve been my pillars. Not just collaborators, but constant guides, always smiling, always teaching, always treating me like a kid brother. What they and their team pulled off on Dhurandhar still feels unreal. Our last day of shoot for Part 1 was 2nd November 2025. The film released on 5th December 2025. In that short window, after the edit, BGM and locking of songs, the final directors mix of the entire film got only just 24 hours. 24 hours. For a film of this scale, it sounds impossible. But they made it happen. And not once did the pressure reflect in the work. If anything, they raised the bar. The same happened with Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the final mix got only just 30 hours. For context, Uri was done in 9 days. I’ve seen them sit for days at a stretch, barely taking breaks, often without sleep, not just to finish the work but to do justice to it. That kind of commitment, that kind of selflessness towards the craft, is rare. What I’ll always cherish are those sleepless nights at Mariano Studios, the chaos, the learning, the laughter and the shared belief in what we were creating. I genuinely cannot imagine making a film without them. They are not just among the best we have, they are among the best in the world. And I will always be grateful. ❤️

Dearest Smriti I still remember one of our very first conversations, when we spoke about how Jaskirat starts with a hint of colour and how, by the end, Hamza is almost swallowed by black. How, somewhere along the way, the colour quietly leaves his life without drawing attention to it. At that point, it was just a thought, a tiny, slightly mad detailing idea I threw at you. And you just held on to it. That’s when I knew 😊 Because while you kept saying “Adi Sir, I don’t know if I’m the right person for this,” I was sitting there thinking, “This is exactly why you are.” You didn’t come with baggage. You didn’t come with a fixed ‘style’ of what this world should look like. You came with honesty and that dangerous thing called ZIDD. And then you went and did what you do best, you over-delivered in the most ridiculous, unbelievable way. Who stitches 10000 costumes for a film and close to 1000 Pathanis in first 30 days and still worries about the detailing of a button on a junior artist’s cuff? 😂
Who creates 250 looks for Hamza and still loses sleep over whether the ring on his little finger feels emotionally correct?
Who manages thousands of accessories over a 1.5 year shoot and still shows up every day like it’s day one? Only you. The most helpful, most generous human being on set.
Always there. Always giving. Always smiling through the chaos (even when I know some days you wanted to kill most of us 😄). What you built wasn’t just costumes. You built a world.
A language.
An identity that breathes through every single frame of Dhurandhar. And the most beautiful part?
From a space that once felt unfamiliar, you created something so distinct that people are now following your design styles everywhere. That’s not talent alone. That’s courage. That’s ZIDD. 🤩 I’m just really, really grateful I got to witness that journey up close. And I’m even more grateful that I got you on this film ❤️ Love and Luck, forever! 🙏

Here’s to Preetisheel, my Sardarni sister from Pathankot.
Mera Sher.😁 When I first heard her name, I’ll be honest, I was hesitant. There were all these opinions floating around, “she’s arrogant,” “she’s too expensive,” “she only does prestige projects.” And then I met her. In that one meeting, all of it just fell apart. It reminded me of something I’ve learned the hard way in this industry, never build your truth on borrowed opinions.
More often than not, they come from a place that has nothing to do with the person you’re about to meet. What I found in Preeti was not just an artist of extraordinary ability but a deeply warm, grounded and fiercely loving human being. The laughter we shared in the middle of madness, the long conversations about life, the endless hours spent obsessing over every character, those are memories I will carry with me for the rest of my life. There was something about her presence, that beautiful, reassuring smile, that made even the most impossible days feel manageable. And then there was her constant voice in my ear, lifting me up in ways I didn’t even know I needed.
“Aditya, tujhe pata nahi hai tu kya cheez hai, tujhe idea bhi nahi hai tu kya karne wala hai.”❤️ What she and her team pulled off on this film is nothing short of extraordinary. When most of the crew was waking up, they were already on set. And when everyone wrapped, they were still there. Running on barely 2–3 hours of sleep, day after day, with a kind of relentless focus that you rarely witness. No complaints. No noise. Just pure commitment to the vision. There were more than a hundred character designs across both parts (some extremely complicated ones like Nawab Shafiq and Bade Saab). Thousands of faces shaped, aged, transformed. An army of nearly 20,000 junior artists brought to life through detail, texture and truth. But beyond the numbers, what stays with me is the intent. For Preeti, it was never about “looks.” It was always about people. About making sure every character, no matter how small, felt real, lived-in and honest. She treated each face with respect, as if it had a story worth telling. That’s rare. Today, she’s not just my HOD. She’s family. A constant in my life, in cinema and beyond. Preeti, thank you for standing by me, for believing in me when I couldn’t see it myself and for pouring your heart into Dhurandhar the way you did. And this is just the beginning for us. Love, always. ❤️

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.❤️

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. ❤️

Here’s to Shivkumar Panicker Some relationships in filmmaking aren’t built on a single film, they’re built over years of trust, instinct, and standing by each other when it matters the most. Shiv has been that for me and much more. He is not just my editor. He is my closest friend, my brother, my confidant, the kind of person whose loyalty is so absolute, it humbles you. The kind of person who would stand for you, fight for you and if it ever came to it, even lay everything on the line for you. And then there’s the genius. Shiv is, without a doubt, one of the sharpest and smartest film editors I have ever known. But what makes him truly exceptional is not just his craft, it’s his instinct. His understanding of rhythm, emotion, and storytelling is almost frighteningly precise. He doesn’t just edit a film, he breathes life into it. With Dhurandhar, what he pulled off feels nothing short of miracle. Yes, the decision to split the film into two parts was mine but the responsibility of making that decision work fell entirely on him. And the way he carried that on his shoulders, the way he shaped it, elevated it, and made it seamless was extraordinary. In timelines that were, quite honestly, the craziest I have ever seen. Where films of this scale take months, sometimes years to edit, Shiv delivered in a matter of days. Days. And not just delivered, he delivered excellence. The sharpest possible version of the film, under pressure that would break most people. What we achieved with Dhurandhar, the scale, the quality, the deadlines is unheard of. It breaks every conventional norm that filmmaking has followed for years. And a massive part of that credit belongs to him. But what makes this even more special is that his contribution didn’t begin in the edit room. He was there from the very beginning. Like a silent co-director. Through writing. Through prep. Through the chaos of shoot. Through post. Always present. Always thinking. Always pushing the film to be better. He never once allowed the pressure to dilute the work.
He never once chose convenience over conviction.
He never once stepped back. That integrity, that hunger, that loyalty is rare. And it’s something I will carry with me for life. The truth is, I don’t see myself making a film without him. Not now. Not ever. In many ways, he is my responsibility for life, just as much as he has made every film of mine his own. Some contributions can be measured. And then there are people like Shiv who become a part of your journey in a way that words can never fully capture. Endless love, respect, and gratitude. Dhurandhar will always carry his heartbeat within it. ❤️

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. ❤️
