The fan asked, “The 26/11 scene was very impactful, as an audience, we felt Hamza’s character, which Ranveer Singh portrayed, painfully amazing, but as an Indian, how did you and the other star cast feel while acting as your character and after the scene was cut?" Arjun Rampal replied, “@mandala 9348, most difficult scene of my life." 

This scene from #Dhurandhar has clearly rattled leftists and liberals so badly that they seem to have forgotten one basic fact that 26/11 was an Islamist terrorist attack.

Ranveer Singh plays Hamza Ali Mazari, a young man who infiltrates Rehman Dakait’s (Akshaye Khanna) gang while secretly working as a spy for India.
