Dhurandhar actor Naveen Kaushik feels Ranveer Singh deserved more recognition than Akshaye Khanna: ‘It’s unfair’
SInce its resign on dec 5, Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, has been enjoying an overwhelming response. At the same time, doer Naveen Kaushik, who essayed the role of Donga in the shoot, has shared that Ranveer deserved more recognition for his performance than Akshaye.Naveen Kaushik on working with Ranveer SinghRecently, Naveen joined Siddharth Kannan for a video on his YouTube channel. During the conversation, Naveen spoke about working with Ranveer and Akshaye. In fact, Naveen confessed that he feels Ranveer’s portrayal of a spy deserved more recognition.“I do feel it’s unfair. Akshaye sir has undoubtedly created an iconic character that will be remembered for years. But what Ranveer has done as an actor: the tiny nuances, his voice modulation, for someone who is so energetic in real life to suppress all of that and play the complete opposite, it’s extremely difficult,” Naveen said.He added, “In the famous FA9LA song, everyone in the scene is dancing – except Ranveer Singh. To restrain yourself in a moment like that is incredibly hard. But people didn’t notice it because of Akshaye sir’s commanding aura. Ranveer’s character is deliberately underplayed. He doesn’t seek attention. In the film, the first man in command is Akshaye, followed by Danish. If Ranveer had ego issues, he could have easily tried to draw focus to himself – but he didn’t. An insecure actor would have done that. Ranveer stayed true to his character and allowed someone else to shine.”About DhurandharAditya Dhar’s spy action thriller is the first instalment of a two-part film series.
