Dhurandhar 2 EXCLUSIVE: Aditya Uppal aka Omar Haider makes SHOCKING revelation about torture scene with Ranveer Singh, 'It was all real'

Dhurandhar 2, which was released on March 19, stars Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun, Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal and is directed by Aditya Dhar. The film has become popular with viewers because it received positive reviews, and its intense action scenes have been praised. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Life, Aditya Uppal aka Dhurandhar's Omar Haider opened up about various aspects of his role and the experience working with actors like Sanjay Dutt and Ranveer Singh.

Was Ranveer's torture scene real?

In particular, when asked about the torture scene with Ranveer, Aditya Uppal said, "That was a real scene. When I went inside the set, Aditya Dhar sir's scripts are very detailed. Sab kuch likha hota hai. So you don't need to bother."

He continued, "But meri lines bohot simple thi ki tune 'alam ko to asani se marne diya, but main tujhe itni asan maut nahi dunga Hamza', so it was a simple line and I thought isko aise kar lenge. So when I entered the scene, it was a very different situation. Us waqt he (Ranveer) was like tied up, bloodbath hua pada hai proper and I was already hitting him and also he was given shocks. And uske ander unhone bola ki sticks to tujhe marna hai. Main to dara hua tha ki lag na jaye galti se bhi. So I was literally hitting him and there was our action director who was telling ki kitna marna hai kaha marna hai. Ranveer told me ki bhai ap mujhe maaro, hold me here, hit me there, main trained hota hu 15-20 minute."

Aditya Uppal said that every day, Ranveer used to get trained at the gym to get the scene right. He said, "So when they all gave me that confidence, maine uss scene ko proper tarike se kiya. Khub maara, gaali galoch bhi tha kafi usme. Whatever lines I was saying, Aditya sir told me to just be in the moment. And this is my moment you know ki Omar ko Hamza mil gaya toh main usko kuch nahi chora. There some shots which was cut and that's for good. I didn't know mere andar itna gussa bhada hai. So I got into the character and was actually hitting Ranveer."

With such intense performances and behind-the-scenes dedication, Dhurandhar 2 continues to maintain its momentum at the box office, drawing audiences to theatres.

Dhurandhar 2 box office collection

Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: The Revenge is continuing its incredible run at the box office, showing no signs of slowing down. The film has been performing exceptionally well, and it's now just a step away from reaching the Rs 900 crore net mark in India.

According to early estimates from a trade website, the movie's total earnings have reached around Rs 899.94 crore by Day 13, putting it very close to the Rs 900 crore milestone.

Even on its second Tuesday, the film managed to earn Rs 27.75 crore, slightly higher than Monday's Rs 25.30 crore. This shows that audiences are still turning out in strong numbers, nearly two weeks after its release.

Like most major releases, the film experienced a gradual dip after its explosive opening weekend. It started with huge collections, crossing Rs 100 crore over the first three days, and then settled into a steady pace throughout the week. Despite this, the film continues to hold strong, proving its lasting appeal among viewers.

Malayalam filmmaker Ranjith ARRESTED in attempted sexual assault case following actress's complaint

Malayalam filmmaker Ranjith was arrested on Tuesday evening in connection with an alleged attempted sexual assault, police officials said. The action followed a complaint by a woman actor, who accused the director of trying to sexually assault her during the shooting of a film. According to her statement to the police, Ranjith had asked her to come into a caravan on the set, where the alleged incident took place.

Ranjith was detained from...

Police said Ranjith was detained from Idukki district in Kerala. He is currently being held in Thodupuzha and is expected to be handed over to the Kochi City Police for further investigation.

The case was officially registered on Monday by the Kochi City Police. After that, the woman actor's statement was recorded at a Women's Police Station. Officials added that the entire process, including the registration of the case and the initial investigation, was carried out discreetly to protect those involved.

Ranjith was earlier involved in...

Ranjith has encountered similar allegations before this present situation. The Justice K Hema Committee report established sexual harassment allegations against him after his name emerged in connection with the report's findings about abuse and misconduct in the Malayalam film industry.

A Bengali actress filed a complaint with the Kochi City Police Commissioner which resulted in the 2024 case against him. In her email complaint she alleged that Ranjith had behaved inappropriately with her during a meeting related to the 2009 film Paleri Manikyam. She claimed that he had touched her with sexual intent after inviting her to act in the film.

Filmmaker moved Kerala HC seeking...

At that time, Ranjith had approached the Kerala High Court seeking anticipatory bail. However, the court later closed his plea after the police informed it that they were considering treating the 2009 allegation as a bailable offence.

The case is now under investigation, and further action will depend on the police's findings.

Kathanar teaser trailer X review: Fans REACT to Jayasurya and Anushka Shetty’s film, praise visuals but share MIXED opinions

Kathanar teaser trailer Twitter review: Malayalam actor Jayasurya is now enjoying the success of Aadu 3, which has made over Rs 100 crore at the box office worldwide. He is now prepared for the pan-Indian release of his upcoming film, Kathanar. Anushka Shetty will make her Malayalam debut in the film, which is directed by Rojin Thomas. The film's teaser trailer was released by the producers on Tuesday, and although it has captured everyone's interest, internet users have given it varied opinions.

Kathanar teaser trailer X review

A netizen tweeted, "The #Kathanar trailer is a masterclass in atmosphere. Beautifully shot without trying too hard, and that background score? Pure mystery. It's refreshing to see a concept that steps away from the routine. Global standards, rooted storytelling (sic)."

Another X user wrote, "Not fully impressed with the glimpse but the grand scale & visuals give hope (sic)." One more netizen tweeted, "Grand production scale, strong background score, and rich visuals let down by weak dialogues. Some lines were barely understandable too. Still, high hopes for this one (sic)."

Anushka to make Malayalam debut with Kathanar

Because Kathanar will be Anushka's first Malayalam film, her fans are ecstatic. Her most recent appearance was in the 2025 Telugu movie Ghaati. At the box office, the movie had failed to leave an impression.

Although the film's official release date has not yet been disclosed, the teaser trailer indicates that it will be released in theatres during this year's monsoon. As a result, the public anticipates it to be released in June or July.

Hindi viewers had previously been drawn to Telugu and Tamil films, but few Malayalam films with Hindi dubbing have made a significant impact at the box office. Thus, it would be intriguing to observe how Kathanar is received in Hindi markets.
