Reflections on the Challenging '83' Shoot
Speaking on RVCJ Movies' YouTube channel, Saqib Saleem recounted the demanding nature of filming '83'. He noted that the project was particularly tough for Ranveer, who had to collaborate with 13-14 actors—a dynamic he wasn't accustomed to. Despite this, Saqib praised Ranveer's exceptional energy and collaborative spirit.
"He has one of the best energies, great collaborator, he would help me in my scenes," Saqib shared. "I had a great time working with him. Whenever I meet him now, it is always like a tight hug."
He also recalled a recent encounter at a Diwali party, where they spent 15-20 minutes reminiscing and sharing jokes from their '83' days. "I am really fond of him and I'm really happy for his success," Saqib added, highlighting their enduring friendship.
Celebrating 'Dhurandhar's Blockbuster Success
Turning to the phenomenal success of 'Dhurandhar', Saqib Saleem expressed his admiration for the film's record-breaking numbers. "Dhurandhar's numbers are just off the roof," he said, having watched the first part and describing it as a very well-made film.
When asked about standout performances, Saqib immediately pointed to Ranveer Singh. "I think Ranveer was fantastic in Dhurandhar," he stated. While acknowledging Akshaye Khanna's praised performance, Saqib emphasized Ranveer's unique contribution.
Comparing Performances: Ranveer Singh vs. Akshaye Khanna
Saqib Saleem also addressed questions about Akshaye Khanna's temperament, noting that his personal experience with the actor was pleasant. "He is a man of few words. He's a fine actor," Saqib remarked.
However, when weighing their roles in Aditya Dhar's film, Saqib highlighted Ranveer's exceptional acting. "He is great in Dhurandhar, but what I saw in Ranveer's performance, the restraint, the eyes, the vulnerability, the strength, everything—what a good, fulfilling performance," he concluded, underscoring the depth and impact of Ranveer's work.
This glowing endorsement from a fellow actor reinforces Ranveer Singh's status as a powerhouse performer in Bollywood, with 'Dhurandhar' solidifying his legacy in the film industry.
