Rao also shared his thoughts during an AMA session on Reddit, where he shared that Ranveer’s character of Hamza in the film was his favourite. “I loved Dhurandhar. For me, the best character was, of course, Hamza and Ranveer played him so well. I messaged him, and we spoke over the phone for a long time after I watched Part 1, Because whenever I get inspired by a performance, I make sure to call the actor and tell them how much they’ve moved me with their work. And Ranveer did that with ‘Dhurandhar’ and No. I can’t choose any role that I would say I could have done better, Because all the actors in the film were just phenomenal,” he added.
