Gursewak Singh Recalls Terrifying On-Set Accident with Ranveer Singh During Dhurandhar Filming
As the blockbuster film Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues to shatter box office records and earn glowing reviews from critics and audiences alike, a heartfelt behind-the-scenes story has emerged that highlights the human side of filmmaking. While fans and celebrities flood social media with praise for lead actor Ranveer Singh's epic performance in Aditya Dhar's directorial, co-star Gursewak Singh is winning hearts by sharing a personal account of a dangerous on-set accident that bonded the two actors.
The Instagram Revelation: A Story of Collision and Compassion
Taking to his Instagram handle, Gursewak Singh posted photos from a recent special screening alongside Ranveer Singh, accompanied by a lengthy social media post detailing a frightening mishap during production. The incident occurred while filming a high-intensity action sequence at Amritsar's plane house location, which features prominently in the movie.
The translated post reveals: "Why brother Ranveer Singh is such a lovely person and brilliant artist, let me tell you a story. We were shooting an action scene where I was positioned behind Ranveer Singh. My character had to place a prop explosive device ahead, then take cover between tractor tires while Ranveer covered me, as directed by our action master."
The Accident Unfolds: A Two-Second Mistake with Major Consequences
Despite multiple rehearsals where everything proceeded perfectly, Gursewak explained how a momentary error led to disaster. "I don't know how I got it wrong, but it took just two seconds to set the bomb incorrectly. As soon as I moved away, Ranveer brother and I had a massive collision - like something hitting at 70 kilometers per hour speed. I fell into the tires, and Ranveer fell directly on top of me."
The impact caused significant injuries to both actors. "His prop gun struck my stomach hard, while my gun hose hit his elbow with considerable force. Although he managed to get up and move initially, I actually fainted from the impact. I was terrified he might have been hurt even more seriously than me," Gursewak recounted.
Immediate Aftermath: Medical Response and Directorial Reassurance
Medical personnel rushed to the scene as the crew assessed the situation. Director Aditya Dhar personally stepped in to comfort the injured actor, demonstrating remarkable understanding about the risks inherent in action filmmaking. Gursewak recalled Dhar's calming words: "'It happens in action sequences, don't be afraid.' When I mentioned that Ranveer Singh sir was also hurt, he responded, 'No problem, you relax, it's part of the shoot' and instructed the doctor to conduct a thorough examination."
Ranveer Singh's Remarkable Response: Professionalism Meets Compassion
What truly stood out for Gursewak was Ranveer Singh's reaction following their collision. Despite sustaining an elbow injury himself, the superstar personally came to check on his co-star's condition. "In fear, I apologized, saying 'Sir, sorry, it was my fault,'" Gursewak shared. "But Ranveer immediately brushed it off, telling me 'never mind' and giving me a comforting hug."
Even while dealing with his own pain, Ranveer demonstrated exceptional professionalism and concern for his fellow actor. "He saw my injury and asked, 'Can you continue shooting or would you prefer to take a break?'" Gursewak revealed. "I gathered my courage and responded, 'It's the final scene - if you're doing it, I'll do it too.' When I asked about his own injury, he simply said, 'My elbow might have some trouble during exercise later, but never mind - let's complete this scene.'"
Continuing Through Adversity: The Shoot Goes On
Remarkably, both actors proceeded to film the scene despite their injuries. "My eyes were teary - I felt completely overwhelmed by their love and support," Gursewak admitted. "This incident occurred on just the third day of our shooting schedule. After that, we continued filming together for thirty-five more days without further incident."
Lasting Impression: Why Ranveer Singh Is a True Star
Gursewak concluded his emotional post with heartfelt praise for his co-star's character. "From that day until the movie's release, Ranveer Singh never made me feel like I had committed a mistake. This demonstrates genuine humanity... real love... taking care of each other. I believe this quality is precisely why he has become such an enormous star in our industry."
The story provides a rare glimpse behind the glamorous facade of blockbuster filmmaking, revealing the physical risks actors undertake and the camaraderie that develops on challenging sets. As Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues its successful theatrical run, this account of professionalism overcoming adversity adds another layer to the film's narrative - both on screen and behind the scenes.
