Dhurandhar The Revenge actor reveals his scenes were cut from the film

In an interview with Times of India, the actor, who plays Shakeel Commando, one of Ranveer Singh’s gang members, recalled the time when he was shortlisted for the film and was informed about his character’s name. He said, "At that time, I felt it sounded like a terrorist-type name. But then I told myself, at least I have a name, and I am not an extra. In theatre, we learn that if your character has a name, it means you have an important role. Later, when we started working, we were told we were gang members; we were with Ranveer. That felt really good."

The actor further revealed that many of his scenes were chopped off in the final cut. He said, "But when the film was released, I didn't see as much presence and visibility as we had shot. When I watched Part 1 with my parents, I felt very sad. An actor wants visibility, so I felt unsettled for a couple of days as many of my scenes, which we shot, were chopped off, maybe due to some unavoidable reasons. But that was very disappointing for me. My parents kept telling me to be thankful, but the heart doesn't always listen."

He added that things changed after an unexpected interaction with a delivery person. "Then something happened; on the second day, a delivery person came and said, ‘Sir, I saw you yesterday... You are in Dhurandhar, right?’ That moment changed everything. I became the happiest person."

Vikramm shared that after that moment, he stopped dwelling on his scenes being cut and instead felt grateful to be associated with a project as big as Dhurandhar. He added that he is now simply enjoying the film’s success.

About Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s success

The film took a bumper opening at the box office and collected ₹145 crore on day one (including paid previews). The spy thriller, starring Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun and R Madhavan among others in key roles, has maintained its momentum ever since and continues to enjoy a dream run at the box office.

The film surpassed the collection of its predecessor within two weeks and has now collected over ₹1,400 crore worldwide and ₹920 crore net in India. While Dhurandhar: The Revenge has overtaken biggies like RRR, Kalki 2898 AD and others, it is yet to beat Pushpa 2: The Rule and Baahubali: The Conclusion.
