Ranveer Singh Praises Young Co-Star Sara Arjun in 'Dhurandhar'

The trailer for the upcoming film 'Dhurandhar' was unveiled in Mumbai on Tuesday, generating significant buzz within the film community. Ranveer Singh, a prominent figure in Bollywood, expressed his admiration for his 20-year-old co-star, Sara Arjun, who is making her debut in the industry with this film. Singh described her as a child prodigy and drew a parallel between her and acclaimed Hollywood actress Dakota Fanning.

In remarks made during the trailer launch, Ranveer Singh praised Sara Arjun's talent, stating, "Sara here is a prodigy; you can tell that some people have a gift from a young age. Much like Dakota Fanning in Hollywood. It’s remarkable that you surpassed thousands of other candidates to secure this role. It feels like you have already completed 50 films before this. You are incredibly precocious as both a person and a performer. You rank among the finest actors I have worked with."

Furthermore, Singh acknowledged Sara's previous performances, specifically referencing her role as a young Nandini in the period drama 'Ponniyin Selvan', directed by Mani Ratnam. He remarked, "You make me look better, and I am genuinely grateful for that. I can hardly believe this is your first film. Clearly, you have experience in Mani Ratnam's projects, and now the world will witness your potential."

Sara Arjun gained recognition in 2011 for her portrayal of Vikram's daughter in the Tamil film 'Deiva Thirumagal' and received critical acclaim for her performance in the 2014 film 'Saivam', produced by Vijay.
