Bollywood circles are buzzing with fresh talk around casting choices in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The film has already become a blockbuster and continues to stay in the spotlight.
Recent online discussions have brought attention to an interesting casting story. It involves Sara Ali Khan and Sara Arjun.
According to a post on Reddit forum r/BollyBlindsNGossip, Sara Ali Khan was in talks for the role of Yalina. Reports suggest she showed strong interest and actively pushed for the part.
Sources claim her team believed her family background would add strong PR value. They expected it to create buzz and even spark debates that could help the film gain attention.
However, insiders say this approach did not work in her favour. Director Aditya Dhar and his team reportedly felt she did not fit their vision for Yalina.
The role eventually went to Sara Arjun. Many believe this decision matched the film’s tone and character needs better.
This speculation also links to comments made by casting director Mukesh Chhabra. He said the team wanted an actor without any baggage for the role.
After reviewing several options, the makers preferred a young and fresh face. They were looking for a naive 19-year-old to play Yalina opposite Ranveer’s Hamza.
Instead of Sara Ali Khan, the role went to 20-year-old Sara Arjun. Reports say she was selected after a long audition process that included nearly 1200 candidates.
Though these remain unverified industry talks, social media users seem to support the final decision. Many felt the casting worked well for the film.
Sara Ali Khan has faced criticism for her recent performances. In contrast, Sara Arjun received praise for her natural acting and fresh screen presence.
As Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues its strong box office run, such stories are adding more curiosity. They are also helping the film stay in public discussion.
