If you thought Saumya Tandon was only the chirpy and vivacious face from your favorite TV shows, get ready for a jaw-dropping transformation in *Dhurandhar*. The actress has taken on one of the most intense and challenging roles of her career, stepping into a gritty world that fans have never seen her in before. Saumya revealed her excitement about joining the cast of *Dhurandhar*, directed by the visionary Aditya Dhar. Despite having a relatively small part, she described it as one of the most intense roles she has ever played. What adds to the thrill is that all her scenes are shared with Bollywood heavyweights Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna. "Akshaye is such a complete scene-stealer," said Saumya, even expressing nervousness about holding her own with him on screen. Working with these two powerhouse actors has clearly pushed her to elevate her game[1][3][4]. She also had high praise for Ranveer Singh's performance, calling it his best yet and saying he deserves every bit of the audience's love and acclaim. Meanwhile, the collaboration with Akshaye Khanna felt like "the cherry on top," given his grounded nature and phenomenal acting skills, which left a strong impression on Saumya during their shoot in iconic locations like the Wagah Border and Golden Temple. His down-to-earth personality, without the usual celebrity trappings, made working with him even more special[1][2][3][5]. The film itself has sparked conversations due to its intense and realistic portrayal of violence. Saumya acknowledged this debate, clarifying that the violence in *Dhurandhar* is integral to the storyline and not gratuitous. She stressed that violence must serve the narrative to be justified, and in this case, it does[2]. With a gripping script, commanding performances, and Saumya's striking new-look character, *Dhurandhar* is poised to be a cinematic experience that challenges the audience's expectations from its actors.
