Ranveer, Aditya took smaller fees and benefited from backend deals
Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar franchise has rewritten the box-office record books, with Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: Revenge together earning more than Rs 3,000 crore worldwide. But according to producer Jyoti Deshpande, the journey to creating one of Indian cinema's biggest franchises was far from straightforward. She revealed how the makers navigated ballooning budgets, reimagined the project as a two-part saga midway through production, and adopted a unique risk-sharing model involving lead star Ranveer Singh and director Aditya Dhar.
