In a recent interview, Prashant Narayanan, the renowned actor known for his villainous role in Emraan Hashmi's Murder 2, shared his candid thoughts on Ranveer Singh's performance in Dhurandhar. Narayanan, who praised the film's craftsmanship, questioned whether its full potential was realized. He described it as a 'well-made film' but expressed his desire for a stronger impact. Narayanan drew a comparison between Dhurandhar and his own debut film, Chhal, highlighting the basic concept of infiltration and gang destruction. While he admired Ranveer's bravery and diverse filmography, he felt that the actor's character was too eye-catching and could have been more subtle. Narayanan pointed out that the supporting performances, particularly those of Gaurav and Akshaye Khanna's father, stood out more to him than the main roles. He emphasized the importance of subtlety when a character is meant to infiltrate, blending in becoming crucial. Narayanan also addressed his previous remarks about Padmaavat, clarifying that he had no intention of demeaning anyone and that his comments were strictly about craft and impact, not personal criticism. He concluded by reiterating his respect for Ranveer, calling him 'one of the bravest actors' in the industry.
