Filmmaker Aditya Dhar, fresh off the massive box-office success of Dhurandhar, has shared a candid and emotional revelation regarding his initial hesitation to work with the film’s character look designer, Preetisheel Singh.
In a heartfelt post shared on social media, the Uri director admitted that before meeting Singh, he had been influenced by “borrowed opinions” and industry rumors that nearly cost him a vital creative partnership.
Dhar confessed that when Preetisheel’s name was first suggested for the ambitious action epic, he was skeptical. According to the director, industry chatter had painted a picture of a designer who was “arrogant,” “too expensive,” and someone who “only does prestige projects.”
“I’ll be honest, I was hesitant,” Dhar wrote. “But then I met her. In that one single meeting, all of it just fell apart.”
The director explained that the reality of meeting the artist was a far cry from the gossip he had heard. He described Singh as a warm, grounded, and fiercely loving human being who quickly became like family. The experience, he noted, served as a significant life lesson: “Never build your truth on borrowed opinions.”
The revelation highlights the immense work required to bring the world of Dhurandhar to life. Dhar revealed that Singh and her team were responsible for an exhaustive list of tasks:
Dhar praised the tireless efforts of the makeup and prosthetics team, who often worked through grueling schedules with minimal sleep. He credited Singh’s spirit for keeping the energy high on set during the most challenging days of the shoot.
This collaboration has clearly paid off. With the film achieving massive success at the global box office, critics and fans alike have praised the film’s gritty, realistic visual language—a feat Dhar now admits might not have been possible had he listened to the initial labels attached to his look designer.
