Dhurandhars casting director reveals the reason for Ranveer Singh-Sara Arjuns 20-year age gap

Mumbai: Dhurandhar's casting director revealed that the much-discussed 20-year age gap between Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun was required for the film. Mukesh Chhabra stated that the age gap was given in the casting brief.  He also revealed that the reason would be out in the second part. 

Speaking to Free Press Journal, he stated, "I had got a very clear brief. The story is that he is trying to trap her. So, we knew that we wanted a young girl who is 20-21 years old. And when part 2 comes, whoever is talking about the age gap will get all the answers." 

The casting director also said that it made him laugh when he read about the age difference of the actors. 

He added, "It's not like we don't have good actors in that 26-27 years of age group; we have good actors. But this (age gap) was required in the film. Everything you can't explain to people. When I was also reading about the age gap, I was laughing. According to the film's brief, it is correct." 

Sara was born on June 18, 2005, and Ranveer was born on July 6, 1985.

Dhurandhar is performing phenomenally well at the box office. The film, directed by Adithya Dhar, earned the praise of critics, fans, and fraternity members. 

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently praised the film and Ranveer, "Still buzzing after #Dhurandhar. The big-screen experience, the immersion, the thrill. And @ranveersingh-unreal. A shapeshifter, a joy, forever a fan. Every department is in perfect sync. Just stunning to watch."
