The highly anticipated trailer for Aditya Dhar’s “Dhurandhar” was unveiled in Mumbai recently. In attendance was Ranveer Singh, who enthusiastically praised his co-star, 20-year-old Sara Arjun, who is making her Bollywood debut with the film. Singh likened her talent to that of famed Hollywood actress Dakota Fanning, underscoring her impressive capabilities.
Singh expressed admiration for Sara, highlighting her skills as one of the best actors he has encountered on set. He commented, “Sara here is a prodigy; you just know some people are prodigies since childhood. Much like Dakota Fanning in Hollywood.” He acknowledged her journey, noting that she triumphed over numerous other candidates to secure her role. “It feels like she has done 50 films before this,” he added, emphasizing her precociousness both as a person and as a performer.
Additionally, Ranveer noted Sara’s performance in “Ponniyin Selvan,” one of his favorite films directed by Mani Ratnam. Expressing his gratitude, he remarked, “You make me look better, and I have heartfelt gratitude for that.” He was particularly astonished that this is her first film, highlighting her previous work alongside renowned filmmakers.
Sara Arjun has garnered attention for her acting prowess since her role as a young Nandini in the “Ponniyin Selvan” films, starring opposite Aishwarya Rai. She first came into the spotlight in 2011 with her role in the Tamil film “Deiva Thirumagal” and received acclaim for her performance in the 2014 movie “Saivam.”
