Filmmaker Aditya Dhar lauded Mukesh Chhabra for his vision in "reshaping" Dhurandhar, stating that Chhabra "saw it before I did" and pushed him to think bigger.

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) has lauded Aditya Dhar's 'Dhurandhar 2', calling it 'Godfather’s Godfather' and expressing a desire to 'wipe out' his past work, including potentially abandoning 'Sarkar 4'. This adds to previous reactions from Mukesh Chhabra and Shiva Rajkumar praising the film and Ranveer Singh's performance, alongside other production-related news.

Mukesh Chhabra disclosed that three prominent actors initially turned down the role in "Dhurandhar" that was eventually played by Akshaye Khanna, suggesting they now regret their decision.

Casting director Mukesh Chhabra expressed gratitude to Aditya Dhar for "Dhurandhar 2," while Kannada actor Shiva Rajkumar applauded Ranveer Singh's performance.

Actor Gaurav Gera, who had relocated from Mumbai to Gurugram, was called back by Mukesh Chhabra for a role in 'Dhurandhar', to which Gera reportedly responded, 'Paaji, whatever you say'.

Casting director Mukesh Chhabra revealed that actors initially rejected the role of Dhurandhar, later regretting it, and shared that he spent two years auditioning 300 people before Akshaye Khanna was cast.
