Tezzbuzz Desk – Aditya Dhar’s film Dhurandhar 2 is in the news these days not only for its box office but also for its content. The audience is liking every scene of the film, but the one that is gaining the most headlines is the encounter sequence with Atif Ahmed, which created silence in the theatre. Now a big revelation has been made regarding this scene.

It was difficult to bring the real incident on screen.

The film’s action director Ejaz Gulab has shared many important things regarding the shooting of this scene. He told that it is very challenging to depict a real incident exactly in the film, especially when the audience has already seen that incident in the news.

According to Ejaz, while filming this scene, special care was taken to every small and big thing – the position of the police, movement of the characters, entry and complete timing. It was not just an action scene, but an exact recreation, which had to be perfect.

shooting happened at midnight

He revealed that the entire sequence was shot in a short period of time, but intensive rehearsals were done beforehand. The shooting was completed at midnight, so that the atmosphere and lighting were close to the actual event.

How many bullets would be fired in the scene, what would be their angle, how would the moment of surrender look like – all these things were planned very minutely.

The biggest challenge was to make the character look real.

The character of Atif Ahmed is played by Salim Siddiqui in the film. Ejaz told that even though the role was small, it was necessary to make it completely real and effective.

He also said that shooting action scenes based on real incidents is more difficult than fiction, because the expectations and comparisons of the audience are high.

Since the release of the film, this scene has become a topic of discussion on social media and among the audience. Many people are calling this the most powerful and realistic scene of the film.
