Among them, one speculation emerged after a user on social media posted a screenshot from the end credits which mentioned three vanity vans under Ranveer Singh`s name
Rumours around Ranveer Singh`s vanity vans
For a long time now, there has been a debate around the entourage of actors. It was earlier reported that Dhurandhar star Ranveer Singh required three vanity vans for films. Although the claim was never confirmed, the recently observed end credits of Dhurandhar on Netflix resurfaced the speculations. .
It started after a Reddit user shared a screenshot of the film’s end credits, which mentioned three vans under Ranveer’s character Hamza, namely, Hamza Van, Hamza Staff Van, and Hamza Normal Van. This gave rise to assumptions that the actor had multiple vanity vans on set.
Truth behind Ranveer Singh`s vanity vans
Now, clearing the air, a source close to the production explained that the term `van` was also used to refer to regular transport vehicles used during the Thailand shooting schedule of the film. “These were Thai vans being referred to in the end credits from Dhurandhar’s Bangkok shoot, which had a long shooting schedule. One vanity and two cars (Thai vans) were deployed for the actor, staff, luggage, etc, to travel around the locations,” the source told Hindustan Times.
The source went on to explain that the Bangkok leg of the shoot involved extensive outdoor sequences. “Even now, with the teaser, you see two characters and a drastic transformation of Ranveer. He sometimes shed 15 kgs, gained 25 kgs within months or days and shot for 12–14 hours a day. In general, with actors, sometimes for drastic body transformations, a gym or private chef or both on sets are required for the magic to happen within production timelines,” the source added.
Notably, Dhurandhar and its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, were shot together. It was initially conceived as a single film, however, it was later split into two parts due to its length.
