Bhubaneswar, Dec. 15 -- Ever since Dhurandhar was announced, one aspect has consistently dominated conversations- the nearly 20-year age gap between Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun. While the film itself has gone on to become a global juggernaut, crossing Rs 550 crore at the worldwide box office, the debate around casting continues to simmer.

Audiences may have embraced the story, but curiosity around the casting choice remains far from settled.

Sara Arjun's selection was no casual decision. Earlier reports revealed that she emerged victorious from an exhaustive audition process involving nearly 1,300 girls.

Now, casting director Mukesh Chhabra has finally addressed why this age difference was not just intentional- but essential.
