<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nManav Gohil<\/a> has opened up about his experience on the sets of Dhurandhar, recalling how a real-life milestone for Ranveer Singh<\/a> and Deepika Padukone<\/a> coincided with a noticeable shift during the film\u2019s shoot.Speaking about Ranveer\u2019s physical transformation in the film, Manav revealed that there was a significant gap in the shooting schedule during which Ranveer and Deepika welcomed their baby.\u201cI think the transition, because you see it in the film, feels very sudden. But for me, we didn\u2019t shoot for a few months in between, and of course Ranveer and Deepika had a baby during that phase as well. So he went through a lot,\u201d Manav told Mamaraazzi. He added that when Ranveer returned to set, the transformation was evident.\u201cWhen I first saw him in Bangkok, he was in his Hamza phase\u2014completely beefed up, very particular about his food and discipline. Months later, when he came back, he had transitioned into Jaskirat, a sharp, young boy\u2014almost like someone straight out of the army. So yes, the shift was very evident.\u201d<\/p>\n Manav admitted he wasn\u2019t surprised by Ranveer\u2019s transformation, given the actor\u2019s dedication.\u201cI wasn\u2019t surprised honestly because the film demanded it, and knowing Ranveer and the kind of dedication he has towards cinema, I was sure he would create magic\u2014and he did, undoubtedly.\u201d <\/p>\n Watch<\/span><\/p>\n Ranveer Singh Opens Up On Sharing The Same ‘Fatherhood’ Feeling As Of ‘Dhurandhar’ Director Aditya!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Opening up about working with R Madhavan, Manav described the experience as enriching and comforting.\u201cHe is a delight. He has the experience of all these years and he\u2019s very intelligent, which makes him very wise. We had long chats\u2014he realised I\u2019m a student of cinema and people, and he shared a lot.\u201dHe added that Madhavan\u2019s presence made things easier for co-actors. \u201cHe\u2019s a very secure actor\u2014no territorial behaviour. It almost felt like an elder brother helping you so that you don\u2019t feel awkward or go through bumps.\u201d <\/p>\n Manav also had high praise for director Aditya Dhar, describing his working style with an interesting analogy.\u201cI said he\u2019s like a swan\u2014on the surface, he\u2019s flowing smoothly, but beneath the water, he\u2019s paddling very hard.\u201dDespite the scale of the production, the filmmaker remained calm and in control. \u201cWith such a huge canvas and cast, he was still calm, quiet, smiling. He had done a great amount of homework.\u201dHighlighting Aditya\u2019s directorial approach, Manav said the filmmaker focused on restraint.\u201cAll the detailing people are talking about\u2014he was very clear. Effortlessly, he would say, \u2018Let\u2019s bring it down to six if it\u2019s at ten.\u2019 He cuts the flare of the acting and lets the content shine.\u201d<\/div>\n\u2018Knowing Ranveer, I was sure he would create magic\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\u2018Madhavan is a delight\u2014like an elder brother on set\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
