Actor Suvinder Vicky has opened up about his experience working on Dhurandhar 2 and revealed how director Aditya Dhar handled the film’s strong and abusive dialogue sequences involving Arjun Rampal’s character.
Vicky, who played Brigadier Jahangir in Dhurandhar 2, became one of the talking points among viewers because of his intense performance and the large number of abusive dialogues delivered by his character. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the actor explained what happened behind the scenes and how the director approached the language used in the film.
According to Vicky, he initially believed that much of his dialogue would eventually be censored because of its strong language. He even told Aditya Dhar that so much of his character’s dialogue involved abuse that it might have been easier to make the character silent.
However, Dhar reportedly remained confident that the dialogue would not be removed. Vicky said this confidence initially surprised him because he expected the language to face significant censorship.
The actor then considered improvising and adding more material to the scenes. However, Dhar stopped him and established a specific boundary for the kind of language that could be used.
Vicky recalled that Dhar made it clear that the film would not use offensive references involving mothers and sisters. According to the actor, the director believed that filmmakers also have a responsibility to avoid language that could unnecessarily hurt sentiments.
The decision meant that although the character was allowed to use strong language as part of the film’s dramatic setting, there was a clear limit on the type of personal insults that could be introduced.
Vicky also clarified that the abusive dialogue was not created by him. He credited the screenplay and writing team for the language given to his character. The actor said the dialogues were already part of the script and that his role was to perform them according to the requirements of the character and scene.
The actor also spoke about his working relationship with Arjun Rampal, who plays Major Iqbal in the film. Vicky and Rampal had previously worked together in Satluj, which helped them establish familiarity before filming Dhurandhar 2.
According to Vicky, he had warned Rampal about the nature of his dialogues before shooting their scenes. Rampal reportedly responded positively and encouraged him to perform naturally in front of the camera.
The interaction between the two actors helped create the intense exchanges seen in the film. Vicky said Rampal understood that the abusive language was part of the character and the requirements of the story rather than a personal attack.
Dhurandhar 2 has received considerable attention for its action sequences, intense performances and strong dialogue. Vicky’s character has also attracted attention from viewers, with the actor saying that audiences responded positively to his performance.
The actor revealed that he had not previously experienced the same level of attention through internet memes. Following the release of Dhurandhar 2, several memes featuring his character reportedly circulated online, adding to the visibility of his performance.
The comments provide an insight into how filmmakers balance strong language with concerns about audience sensitivities. Films frequently use profanity to establish the personality of a character, communicate anger or create an intense atmosphere. However, filmmakers also have to consider censorship requirements and the potential impact of particular forms of language.
Dhar’s reported decision to draw a line around references involving mothers and sisters illustrates this balancing approach. The director allowed the character to retain the aggressive tone required for the story while avoiding a specific category of offensive language.
The discussion also highlights the role of screenwriters in creating dialogue. Vicky specifically credited the writing team for the abusive lines rather than claiming them as his own improvisation. This distinction is important because dialogue in a film is generally developed as part of the screenplay and then interpreted by actors during performance.
Vicky’s comments also indicate that the actors approached the scenes professionally. His discussion with Rampal before filming helped establish an understanding between the performers about the nature of the material.
Dhurandhar 2 is directed and written by Aditya Dhar and features Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt and R Madhavan among its principal cast. The film is the second instalment in the Dhurandhar series and continues the action and espionage storyline established in the first film.
The movie has attracted considerable public attention since its release, with discussion focusing on its performances, action, political themes, violence and dialogue. Vicky’s portrayal of Brigadier Jahangir has received particular attention despite the character having limited screen time.
The actor’s latest comments also offer a glimpse into the creative decisions made during production. Rather than allowing unrestricted improvisation, Dhar reportedly maintained control over the language to ensure that the dialogue remained within the boundaries he had established for the film.
Vicky has credited the director, writers and his co-stars for helping shape the scenes. His remarks suggest that the intense exchanges were carefully constructed rather than being entirely improvised during filming.
The discussion surrounding the dialogue also reflects the broader debate in Indian cinema about the use of profanity. Strong language can contribute to realism and characterisation, particularly in crime, action and thriller films. At the same time, its use can generate controversy among viewers and attract scrutiny from certification authorities.
In this case, Vicky’s account suggests that the filmmakers were aware of those concerns while developing the scenes. Dhar’s decision to establish limits allowed the film to retain the aggressive characterisation without crossing the specific boundary he had identified.
The actor’s comments have added another perspective to the making of Dhurandhar 2 and the performances that have drawn attention from audiences. They also show how directors, writers and actors work together to determine how emotionally intense scenes are presented on screen.
As Dhurandhar 2 continues to remain a topic of discussion among movie audiences, Vicky’s revelations provide additional context about the dialogue, the filming process and his collaboration with Arjun Rampal and Aditya Dhar.
