Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: 500 Workers Recreate Pakistan's Lyari in Bangkok in 20 Days

  • Dhurandhar recreated Karachi's Lyari neighborhood on a massive six-acre set in Bangkok for authenticity.
  • Production designer Saini S Johray led the ambitious project, completed in just 20 days by nearly 500 workers daily.
  • Logistical challenges included relying on local Thai manpower as Indian workers couldn't be flown in.
  • Mumbai's monsoon season forced the team to shift major outdoor shoots to Thailand for suitable space and weather.
  • Another four-acre set was constructed in Mumbai specifically for action-heavy sequences and explosions.

Why It Matters: Dhurandhar achieved an unprecedented feat by recreating Lyari in Bangkok with immense scale and speed.
