Relentless action fuels the almost four-hour saga that is Dhurandhar: The Revenge. To bring his story from paper to screen, filmmaker Aditya Dhar roped in action directors Oh Sea Young, Yannick Ben, Aejaz Gulab, and Ramazan Bulut. According to Young, the film has shaped up as a stylised action fare for two reasons - Dhar's vision and leading man Ranveer Singh's "obsession".
"Ranveer is a beast - pure energy," Young told mid-day. Even as the South Korean stunt director has worked with several action heroes in Bollywood, he noted that Singh's dedication to perfect the scenes is almost unmatched. "He is the first actor I know who takes notes on fights and choreography. He'd ask things like, âIf I'm throwing a right hook, where is my left hand?' He would write everything down. He even asked for demos right before the camera rolled. I was shocked he hadn't done a pure action film before. Ranveer can master it in a short time through sheer obsession."
From Singh's bathroom fight sequence to the last train scene with Arjun Rampal, Young shared that every set-piece has turned out sharp because of Dhar. Apparently the director had a four-step process. He noted, "First we'd build mock sets in the studio to design the choreography, film our test version, and then refine it with the director. Then came the actor training, followed by final rehearsals on the shoot day. The director explained action the way he does emotions, detailing the vibe and the grit he wants."
Oh Sea Young and Aejaz Gulab choreographed the final fight sequence between Ranveer Singh and Arjun Rampal that begins in a mosque, shifts to the fields and the container yard, and ends in a train. "It was the most challenging scene to shoot. We spent more than 20 sessions on that climax alone," exclaimed Young.
