While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Bollywood prosthetic and character designer Preetisheel Singh shared that the first key detail was Ranveer’s hair. “Cracking the hair was important; we had to strike a balance between making it cinematic but not distracting because he is not a front and centre character in the first part.”
In the movie, we see Ranveer Singh, aka Hamza’s journey from being a nobody to Rehman Daikat’s inner circle member to being the man who takes over Lyari; it was essential that his look transitions with him as well. “Dhurandhar expands over a certain time period, and I wanted to track that journey from getting into the “spy look,” where he doesn’t have access to money, doesn’t even have a house to stay in, being on the streets, to entering the gang. I wanted to show the initial rugged rawness, where he is not grooming himself every day, with unkempt, grungy hair, tied into a ponytail sometimes. You see that greasiness in the texture coming across. Texture is very important to me. I even gave him freckles on his face and tanned his skin tone. This builds character,” shares Preetisheel.
