Dhar uses practical rooftop effects in Lokmat 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge'
Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge is getting attention for its gritty realism, especially in a standout rooftop sequence filmed at the Lokmat printing press in Navi Mumbai.
Instead of flashy VFX, the team went old-school with practical effects to keep things authentic.
Ranveer Singh appears in the sequence, while production designer Saini S Johray worked some serious magic to transform the space.
'Dhurandhar 2' ₹1100cr despite detailed sets
The set design really took things up a notch: think a 25-by-20-foot main cabin with glass panels made from MDF sheets and floors built from plywood and PVC.
They even created stained glass effects using a colored film layer, and threw in fake currency notes marked "reverse Bank of India" for extra detail.
Despite all this effort, it was actually Dhurandhar 2 (the sequel) that pulled in over ₹1,100 crore.
