Manav Gohil recalls fumbling while shooting his first scene, Dhurandhar
Manav Gohil appears in the role of a calm and guiding intelligence officer in Aditya Dhar's director. His character becomes the bridge between Ranveer Singh's Hamza and the top Indian intelligence officers. In a conversation with Mamrazzi, the actor recalled his first shot in the movie.
He said, “The first day of the shoot we did, I was in Bangkok. In the scene, we are bottling down the last bit with Ranveer and telling him that now he has to go.” He then recalled a sequence in which he had to take the name of Ranveer Singh's mother, and he kept fumbling. He continued, “Ranveer's mother's name is Prabneet, not Prabjit. I kept saying Parabjit. I fumbled a couple of times, but I managed somehow. I was nervous, because there was Maddy (R Madhavan), Ranveer and the sense that I was not the first choice. Aditya is observing very keenly whether this was a mistake or not. So, I was very precarious. I treaded very carefully. He had his instructions, which were supporting me a little.”
