Ranveer Singh’s unmatched dedication to action
South Korean action expert Oh Sea Young, who has worked with many Bollywood stars, said Singh’s commitment to mastering every action scene sets him apart. Young told Mid-day that Singh’s focus and discipline went beyond what he had seen before. “He is the first actor I know who takes notes on fights and choreography. He’d ask things like, ‘If I’m throwing a right hook, where is my left hand?’ He would write everything down. He even asked for demos right before the camera rolled. I was shocked he hadn’t done a pure action film before. Ranveer can master it in a short time through sheer obsession.”
Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s four-step action process
Oh Sea Young said that moments like Ranveer’s bathroom fight and the thrilling train sequence with Arjun Rampal stand out because of director Aditya Dhar’s attention to detail. He revealed that Dhar followed a clear four-step plan to shape every fight scene. He said, “First we’d build mock sets in the studio to design the choreography, film our test version, and then refine it with the director. Then came the actor training, followed by final rehearsals on the shoot day. The director explained action the way he does emotions, detailing the vibe and the grit he wants.”
Ranveer Singh’s challenging climax scene with Arjun Rampal
The climactic showdown between Ranveer and Arjun was choreographed by Young and Aejaz Gulab. The sequence travels through multiple locations, starting in a mosque, moving across fields and a container yard, and ending dramatically on a train. Young exclaimed that it was the most challenging scene to shoot. They spent more than 20 sessions on that climax alone.
