It has been five months since Aditya Dhar directed Dhurandhar, which was released on the big screen, and it has been two months since part two of the movie, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, cracked the silver screen. Apart from Sara Arjun and Ranveer Singh’s on-screen chemistry, the film made the right noise because of Arjun Rampal. He played the role of tyrant, ‘Major Iqbal’ and the role has actually changed his life.
Arjun Rampal reveals pinching himself, Aditya Dhar going to temples due to being overwhelmed with Dhurandhar’s success
Arjun Rampal played the unforgettable villainous role of ‘Major Iqbal’ whose end was a nightmare. The actor sat down for an interview with NDTV and revealed that he is still coming to terms with the success of Dhurandhar. He revealed that he is pinching himself and is unable to come to terms with the same. Arjun Rampal noted:
“I’m still pinching myself; I think for the whole team it has been phenomenal. Way, way, way beyond anybody’s wildest dreams or imagination. It just throws you into a sense of gratitude.”
Arjun Rampal revealed that director, Aditya Dhar has been going to the temples
Speaking about the Dhurandhar universe, the stellar cast included Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun. The film globally reportedly crossed the Rs. 3,000 crore mark and has been one of the most amazing box office triumphs in recent times. Dhurandhar director, Aditya Dhar, who is very spiritual, is seeking blessings from the Almighty after the film’s success. Arjun Rampal further shared:
“They’re all dudes, man. They’re all Dhurandhars. Everybody’s in shock. There’s so much dopamine going on. Aditya is going to temples because he loves spending time there. Vikash (film’s DOP), I know, joined some monastery because he wants to get grounded.”
Arjun Rampal reveals what he exactly did after Dhurandhar released
Arjun Rampal kept himself very calm and patient as soon as Dhurandhar released. The actor was not in the city and revealed that he had gone off to Goa, to be close to Mother Nature, be with his family, and just be at peace with himself. Aditya Dhar directed Dhurandhar, which is the kind of movie that comes along only once in, like, every few decades. Ranveer Singh played the role of ‘Hamza Ali Mazari’, and, on the other hand, Arjun Rampal’s success was all personal. He and the entire Dhurandhar team did not expect success, but now it has become a reality. In his words:
“As soon as the film released, I went back home to Goa. I’ve been with my family, spending time in nature and just being at peace. The beautiful thing is that everybody from the team just wants to get grounded. It’s such a wonderful, beautiful high that we’ve all received, and now you just want balance. It’s very important.”
Understanding Arjun Rampal’s character of ‘Major Iqbal’
Arjun Rampal’s character of ‘Major Iqbal’ is not your stereotypical villain. He is an ISI operative who is in complete sync with Lyari’s criminal ecosystem. ‘Major Iqbal’ has all the terror networks backing him and is the man who is always on a satellite phone. As seen in Dhurandhar, he was speaking to the terrorists when the 26/11 attacks happened in Mumbai. He confesses of directing the terrorists. ‘Major Iqbal’ is known as the face of ideological extremism, and, undoubtedly, this has been Arjun Rampal’s finest performance. He carries fear in his eyes that do not flinch, and believes that his belief system is the utmost rule of the jungle. Arjun’s character is portrayed as someone who believes he is not cruel.
