Lulli Dakait — the fierce henchman who made a brief but memorable impact in Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar — is played by character actor Naseem Mughal, who recently posted a heartfelt tribute to co-star Ranveer Singh praising his energy and "fearless" performance that inspires fellow actors[3]. Hook — A small role, a big ripple: how a single scene and one social-media post turned a supporting actor into a talking point for Dhurandhar fans. Engaging opening - In a film dominated by star power and high-octane sequences, it's often the smaller, well-placed performances that linger. Naseem Mughal's Lulli Dakait — Babu Dakait's henchman — is one such role: killed in the film's violent gunfire sequence, Lulli's brief appearance adds texture to the gangland world Dhurandhar builds around Ranveer Singh's character[3]. Why Lulli Dakait mattered on screen - Lulli functions as a cog in the film's criminal machine: his presence helps establish the stakes and ruthlessness of the gangs operating in the story, and his death underscores the film's lethal world-building[3]. - Casting experienced character actors like Naseem Mughal gives authenticity to quick, intense beats that keep the narrative believable even when the plot races forward[5]. About Naseem Mughal — the actor behind Lulli - Naseem Mughal is a working character actor whose credits include Dhurandhar (as Lulli), the series Guns & Gulaabs (2023), and Checkmate (2024)[2][3]. - Mughal used his platform to publicly praise Ranveer Singh after Dhurandhar's release, writing that Singh's on-screen magnetism and "passion" breathe life into cinema and inspire other performers to push harder and dream bigger[3]. What Mughal's tribute reveals - The Instagram tribute highlights the camaraderie and mutual respect among performers, and it also shows how co-stars—even those in smaller roles—look to lead actors for creative energy and courage on set[3]. - Mughal's words — calling Ranveer a "symbol of fearless performance" and thanking him for motivating artists — reflect how star performances can elevate ensemble work and galvanize younger or supporting actors to take greater risks in craft[3]. Context in Dhurandhar's reception - Released in December 2025, Dhurandhar quickly became a major talking point for its intense performances and stylized direction, and even short-lived characters like Lulli were noticed by audiences and media[3][5]. Engaging the reader (why you should care) - If you love cinema that rewards close attention, Dhurandhar is a reminder that memorable movie moments aren't only the hero's — they're the sum of strong supporting performances, production design, and the energy actors bring to even fleeting scenes[3][5]. - Watching and discussing these performances is a great way to sharpen your film literacy: try spotting how a minor character's action shifts the lead's arc or the scene's tension.
