The trailer of Ranveer Singh’s much-awaited film ‘Dhurandhar’, directed by Aditya Dhar, has finally arrived and it has already created a strong buzz online. Packed with chilling action scenes, fiery visuals and powerful character moments, the trailer promises a grand, intense and dramatic story. Amidst all this, there was brief romantic glimpse between Ranveer Singh and his co-star Sara Arjun.

When the first look of the film was released in July, the 20-year age gap between Ranveer (40) and Sara (20) led to a wave of debate and even backlash. Now, at the trailer launch, Singh has finally shared his thoughts on working with Sara.

Ranveer Singh praises Sara Arjun as a natural prodigy

At the event, Ranveer Singh spoke about Sara Arjun with genuine admiration. He said, “I'm lucky to be part of such a special moment for you. Sara here is a prodigy. You will get to know. Some people, you know, they are just like a child prodigy. Once Dakota Fanning came to Hollywood. I think, Sara, it's a testament to the fact that you beat thousands of other candidates to land this part.” The comparison to Dakota Fanning immediately stood out, showing how strongly Ranveer believes in Sara’s natural talent and screen presence.

Ranveer Singh describes her as born for acting

The ‘Simmba’ actor further continued his praise with even stronger words. He said, “And it's as if you were born to do this. It feels like she has done 50 films. She is so precocious as a person, as a performer. You are one of the finest actors that I have shared the screen with. You make me look better. And my heartfelt gratitude for that.”
