What Mustafa wrote for Ranveer

Mustafa shared a still from the film, where he was seen beside Ranveer. A second picture was taken a few years ago, showing Ranveer training in the gym with him. In the caption, Mustafa began, “Dhurandhar was 2 yrs in the making. But Hamza and Rizwan are decade-old comrades. With you, it’s always been just picking up from where we left. So many conversations unrelated to work but more to life.”

‘Whether it’s Mustafa or Rizwan, I will always have your back’

He continued, “Times where we spoke without words. It can safely be said that we both can communicate telepathically. And I guess that’s what worked so smoothly on screen. It’s the proof that actions can be louder than words. And boy have we made some noise. Whether it’s Mustafa or Rizwan, I will always have your back. You know it. And now I guess the world knows it too. To Dhurandhar and Beyond- Rizwan AKA Mustafa.”

About Dhurandhar 2

The first film showed Ranveer Singh as an Indian spy who infiltrates gangs in Lyari to eliminate a terror network targeting India while also climbing the power ladder within Pakistan’s underworld. It revolved around covert intelligence operations in the background of geopolitical and terror events like the Kandahar plane hijack, the 2001 Parliament Attack and the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

The sequel showed how he was trained to become Hamza Ali Mazari. It also takes the story forward, showing him taking control of the power dynamics in Lyari while working to dismantle a terror network in Pakistan that threatens India. The film also featured an intense face-off between Arjun Rampal and Ranveer. Dhurandhar 2 also stars R Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjun, Danish Pandor and Sanjay Dutt.
