Saumya Tandon Instagram – Some #BTS from #Dhurandhar ✨
Picture 1 and 2
This was the very first scene I shot for the film, in Amritsar, where we see Rehman Dakait’s haveli. It was November last year, and I was a mix of nerves and excitement. My first morning shot was with Akshay lighting his cigarette, silently urging him to take revenge.
Akshay is pure magic. We barely had a chance to talk, but the moment the camera rolled, there was an instant connection. I truly feel we share a wonderful chemistry. It’s an absolute dream to have a co-actor like him-such a pure artist, with so much to learn from. More than anything, it’s a joy to perform with someone of his calibre. I truly hope we’re paired together again someday. Praying. 🤍

This was my entry scene in the film, and the amount of love it has received has truly overwhelmed me. It’s such a beautifully written scene, and I never expected this response.
@adityadharfilms you’ve changed the game by creating a true masterpiece, and by showing that casting isn’t about who is who, but about who truly fits the character and can do justice to the part. Your honesty reinforces the belief that good content always wins.
In this scene, I felt everything at once- anger towards my husband for being the reason behind our son’s death, helpless desperation, and the deep, shared pain between us. And yes, I slapped Akshay once (not seven times!)-for real- during his close-up, after Aditya insisted it had to be authentic. I was hoping to cheat, but no such luck. My breakdown close-up was done in a single take.

This scene is from the Eid celebration in our haveli. The space was breathtaking, and the art department did an extraordinary job creating such authentic Pakistani décor. I really hope you all notice and appreciate their beautiful work. I genuinely felt transported to that era-it all felt incredibly Real

This was the prayer meeting after my son’s demise. The pain I felt in that moment stayed with me-it came straight from the heart.
