R. Madhavan Recalls Rain-Soaked Dhurandhar Opening Scene in Leh-Ladakh

  • R. Madhavan shared a behind-the-scenes story from the Dhurandhar shoot in Leh and Ladakh, revealing an unexpected weather twist.
  • The film's opening scene, meant to be sunny, turned into a rain-soaked spectacle due to Madhavan's perceived 'rainman' effect.
  • Despite the unplanned rain, the moody backdrop enhanced the tension and drama of the scene, which depicted his character, intelligence officer Ajay Sanyal, landing in Afghanistan.
  • Madhavan humorously noted that the gray skies ultimately worked perfectly for the shot, proving that sometimes going with the flow yields better results.
  • Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, and others, hit theaters on December 5 and is streaming on Netflix since January 30, with a sequel planned for March 19.
