Sometimes the most compelling behind-the-scenes stories come from the actors who are not the biggest names on the poster — but who quietly steal every scene they are in. Udaybir Sandhu, who plays Pinda in the blockbuster Dhurandhar: The Revenge, is having a moment right now. His viral performance in the film’s interval sequence has been making waves, and in an exclusive chat, he pulled back the curtain on how that pivotal scene came together — including the sleepless nights, the nerves, and the unexpected warmth of working with Ranveer Singh.

Ranveer Singh: The Co-Star Who Lifts Everyone Around Him
Udaybir freely admitted he was nervous walking onto set for the first time alongside Ranveer Singh. He had grown up watching the actor and was not quite sure how to hold his own. But that nervousness dissolved quickly. Ranveer personally told Udaybir that his character Pinda was actually his own favourite in the entire film — a revelation that lit a fire under the young actor.
What stands out most from the interview is how Udaybir described Ranveer as a secure actor — someone who does not feel threatened by strong performances around him, who gives genuine feedback, and who stays fully present on set rather than walking off between shots. As Udaybir put it, a truly great actor is defined by that security in their craft. Ranveer not only stayed invested but actively guided the team around him to raise their game. This kind of generous, collaborative spirit is exactly what distinguishes Ranveer Singh as one of Bollywood’s most respected performers.

Three Nights Without Sleep — And It Showed on Screen
The interval block of Dhurandhar: The Revenge was shot over three days, with a Korean action design team brought in specifically for the sequence. The pressure was immense. Udaybir was so anxious that he could not sleep the night before shooting — and then could not sleep the night after the first day either. By the third day, he had gone without sleep for three consecutive nights.
Here is the remarkable twist: the physical toll — the puffiness, the exhaustion — actually served his character perfectly. Sometimes art and life blur together in the most unexpected ways on a film set.
