Ranveer Singh is garnering significant praise for his performance in the 'Dhurandhar' franchise, particularly for his role as Hamza. In a conversation with his business associate Nikunj Biyani, Singh revealed that this character has proven to be more challenging than his intense portrayal of Alauddin Khilji in 'Padmaavat'. He stated, 'This character has been way more challenging for me, as an artist; it has taken so much more out of me.' Singh's preparation for Hamza involved deep emotional and physical work, surpassing the demands he faced while preparing for Khilji. Previously, Singh had discussed the isolating process he undertook to embody Khilji, highlighting the emotional risks involved in tapping into dark experiences. He viewed the role of Khilji as a significant challenge that ultimately paid off, boosting his confidence to take on more complex characters in mainstream Hindi cinema. His reflections on both roles underscore his commitment to pushing the boundaries of his craft.
