Casting director Mukesh Chhabra revealed the extensive process behind Aditya Dhar's "Dhurandhar: The Revenge," noting that several actors declined the role of antagonist Rehmaan Dakait, eventually played by Akshaye Khanna. The film, which has surpassed ₹1500 crore globally, saw Ranveer Singh as the immediate choice for the lead, while over 1000 auditions were held for Sara Arjun's role.
