In a separate post, Chhabra wrote a longer note reflecting on his experience of working with Dhar. He described the filmmaker as a “genius” and spoke about the attention to detail, emotional depth and conviction that went into making Dhurandhar and its sequel.
Chhabra also highlighted Dhar’s approach to collaboration, noting the respect and warmth he extends to people he works with. He said that while audiences are now recognising Dhar’s work, there is much more to come from the filmmaker. “I just want to say this – Aditya, you are the real hero. Thank you for making me a part of your vision. And I know this is just the beginning. People only see 50% of what you’re capable of.” He continued, “What you’ve done with Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar The Revenge, people will be talking about these films for many, many years,” read an excerpt of his note.
Referring to their time on the project, Chhabra recalled Dhar’s confidence during production and said that the final result reflects that belief. He added that the impact of Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar The Revenge will be discussed for years.
