The film offers plenty for cinema lovers who enjoy spotting layered craftsmanship on screen. Its visual storytelling relies heavily on grounded execution rather than shortcuts.A recently circulated video has now revealed an interesting behind-the-scenes detail. One of the film’s most important scenes, featuring Ranveer Singh enacting a dramatic rooftop revenge moment in heavy rain and red lighting, was not created using digital effects. Instead, the sequence was filmed at a real location.
Practical filmmaking in ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ over VFX
The video, shared by the Quiz Nema Instagram page, confirms that the sequence was shot at the Lokmat printing press in Ghansoli, Navi Mumbai. What stands out is the decision to avoid VFX completely. The makers chose to rely entirely on practical effects to achieve the desired impact.To match the film’s visual requirements, the team extensively modified the existing space. Art directors Pritanjan Singh, Yogesh Bansode, and Divya Soni collaborated under production designer Saini S. Johray to redesign the location in detail.
Intricate set design details of ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ scene
Several lesser-known facts about the set have now emerged. The central cabin seen in the sequence is compact, measuring just 25 x 20 feet. The glass panels visible in the scene are not real. They were constructed using MDF sheets and carefully painted to resemble wood.The flooring was also artificially created. Instead of using natural wood, the team used plywood and PVC materials to achieve the finish. Even the stained glass elements that appear authentic on screen were specially designed props.Only a coloured film layer was used to enhance the visual tone. Among the most surprising details is the use of fake currency. Notes resembling ₹500 and ₹1,000 were printed, but with “reverse Bank of India” markings to avoid legal issues.The filming process came with strict time limitations. The crew was allowed to shoot only between 7 am and 7 pm. After that, the printing press resumed its regular operations.Despite these restrictions and the level of detailing involved, the final output appears seamless.
