Bollywood star R Madhavan, who was seen playing the role IB director Ajay Sanyal in Dhurandhar, shared an interesting behind-the-scenes moment from the sets of the blockbuster, revealing how nature quietly rewrote the plan for the film’s opening shot. Madhavan revealed that director Aditya had originally envisioned a bright, sunlit day with clear blue skies, a visual contrast meant to mirror the beauty and the beast within the aircraft featured in the scene. Madhavan took to Instagram, where he shared a video of the opening scene. In the clip, the actor is heard saying: “Oh, the beautiful Leh and Ladakh. It was supposed to be a sunny day, but as luck would have it, I bring in rains wherever I go, apparently.” “And we’re shooting the scene without the sun and in the rain.Hopefully, it will augur as good luck for the film. What a beautiful place, my God!”

 

He added a text overlay, which read: “#Dhurandhar. Aditya had always imagined this to be a bright sunny day with blue skies to show the contrast between the beauty and the beast inside the plane. As luck could have it, I brought in the rain....because I was referred to as the RAINMAN on the set. “Every time I came onto the set...there was rain. But-this grey Skies and look worked out perfectly for us as the first shot...... sometimes it’s best to go with what is handed to you, because a bigger design is in place.” Dhurandhar also stars Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal. Serving as the first instalment of a two-part film series, it centres on a high-stakes covert counter-terrorism operation. The film follows an undercover Indian intelligence agent who infiltrates Karachi’s criminal syndicates and political power structures in Pakistan in an effort to dismantle a terror network targeting India. n
