On RVCJ Movies’ YouTube channel, Saqib shared his time working with Ranveer on ‘83’: “83 was a very tough film for him – to be working with 13-14 actors, and I’m sure he’s not used to working in a film like this. He has one of the best energies, great collaborator, he would help me in my scenes. I had a great time working with him. Whenever I meet him now, it is always like a tight hug.”He added, “Of course, life has moved on, but I remember meeting him at a Diwali party last year. We stood there for 15-20 minutes and we spoke and cracked a couple of jokes that we had cracked back in the day, so I had a nice time with him. I am really fond of him and I’m really happy for his success.”

On ‘Dhurandhar’s blockbuster run, Saqib noted, “Dhurandhar’s numbers are just off the roof. I had seen part one, and I think it is a very well-made film.” Asked for a recent standout performance, he instantly named Ranveer: “I think Ranveer was fantastic in Dhurandhar.

He’s a fine actor.” Weighing their roles in Aditya Dhar‘s film, he added, “He is great in Dhurandhar, but what I saw in Ranveer‘s performance, the restraint, the eyes, the vulnerability, the strength, everything—what a good, fulfilling performance.”
