Sara Arjun’s BTS pics and note to director
Taking to Instagram, Sara shared a series of behind-the-scenes pictures with co-star Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar. She penned a note, “The first time I ever met Aditya sir, there was a look in his eyes. I realised that he would do something special for cinema. At every single step of this journey, the sheer magnitude of that realisation revealed itself. But the peak detailing we all miss along the way hit me only when I looked back, after it was all said and done, and saw the army of people standing outside the frame. This post is dedicated to the unsung heroes of Durandhar 1 & 2. To the captain of the ship, @adityadharfilms and his direction team: the architects of our focus, who tirelessly worked to take this dream to the screen.”
Sara Arjun thanks producers and camera crew
“To the producers and the production team, @dhar_lokesh Jyoti ma’am, @officialjiostudios @b62studios weathering the storms so we could stand in the light. To our DOP, @vik_now and camera team, who captured scale and soul in every frame. To our casting director, @castingchhabra and casting team, who set out looking for the right faces but ended up nailing the cast down to the very heartbeat”, she added.
Sara Arjun’s shoutout to costume, VFX, and more
Sara continued her shoutout to the crew across departments. Thanking them for their tireless efforts, she further wrote, “To the costume designer, @smriti.schauhan and makeup designers @preetisheel and their teams, who wove history into fabric and painted stories onto our skin, giving us identities that we immersed ourselves in. To @shashwatology, the singers, lyricists, and background score, who created the pulse of this film. To the editor, @shivkumarpanicker, and VFX team, as well as @ojas_gautam, who sculpted time and defied nature, taking our performances to the limits of reality. To the production design team, who built this sprawling universe from the ground up while the world wasn’t watching. To the safety and stunt crews, who traded their safety for ours, so we could look invincible on screen. To the lighting, sound, and spot teams, who were the first to arrive and the last to leave: the first light of dawn and the last glimmer as the sun sets. To the countless others, your names may not be listed, but your contribution is impossible to overlook.”The actress concluded, “Actors get to be the faces on the poster, but you are the spine of this cinema. Let’s all applaud the sweat in the shadows just as much as the stars in the spotlight. Thank you to the entire crew of Durandhar. History has been made.”
