Director Aditya Dhar is continuing to celebrate the team behind the blockbuster success of Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge. After previously praising the film’s editor, music composer and cinematographer, Dhar has now turned the spotlight on casting director Mukesh Chhabra, revealing the simple brief he had given him while assembling the film’s massive ensemble.

On Wednesday, the filmmaker shared a series of photos with Chhabra on Instagram and wrote a heartfelt note appreciating his contribution to the project.

"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."

Dhar also spoke about the challenge of casting a film with a large number of characters and shared the straightforward brief he gave Chhabra and his team.
