Inside Dhurandhar: How Smriti Chauhan Crafted Ranveer Singh’s Most Talked-about Look – Exclusive_我的网站

黑色幽默

A | Costume designer Smriti Chauhan is one of the creative forces behind Ranveer Singh’s look in Dhurandhar. She says the film’s now-viral bearded avatar was born from months of iterative work, collaboration and a deep integration of costume with hair, makeup, lighting and performance. In an exclusive conversation with Filmfare, Chauhan breaks down the meticulous process, from conceptual sketches to 40-metre salwars and silicon jewellery designed to survive high-octane action. Region, story and technical precisionChauhan reveals that the idea of a full beard was rooted in the character’s geography and cultural background. “We knew there was going to be a beard because of the region he comes from, what he’s performing and who he is,” she says. The hair and makeup team played a decisive role as well. They dictated the skin tone, lens colour and texture choices that needed to sync with her costume palette. “Costume and hair and makeup cannot be separated,” Chauhan emphasises. “The look comes alive only when all three, costume, HMU and lighting - work in harmony.”Ranveer’s inputs and a sharp eye for detailChauhan was nervous as she met Ranveer Singh for the first time while working on the movie. However, she says that the actor immediately put her at ease. But Singh was far from a passive participant. He dissected materials, cuts and accessories with precision. He’d ask, ‘Why linen? Why not silk? Why this jewellery? Why this structure?’ According to the designer, his questions pushed her to have solid answers.Smriti also shares, “And when you have the answers, it gives you more clarity. So with Ranveer, he ensured that he helps the two of us get clarity on the character. He also added some technical bits. He asked me to add a wire on the collar so that it stays like that when he is moving around.” Ranveer’s physical transformationOne of the biggest challenges for Chauhan’s team was designing for a body that kept changing. Ranveer bulked up for a portion of the film and then shed weight rapidly for another. “We had to ensure that with every change in his body, the clothes didn’t show that change... The look had to stay consistent,” she shares.The character evolves from a street nobody to someone big. The costumes had to mirror his transformation. Initially, his look is rooted in ruggedness. “So all of this came together working very closely with him. We understood which materials are working the best and which is looking rugged. His entire journey in this film is like that of a nobody becoming somebody, like really big. So that journey itself was grand.” The nightmare of action-friendly jewelleryLater, as the character rises in stature, accessories become key. Ironically, Chauhan had laughed off Ranveer’s early questions about accessories because of the heavy action sequences. But he persisted. “Cut to the first sequence in the teaser - he is loaded in accessories. I can tell you this, I’ll throw a rug on him and he’ll carry it with perfection. The next thing you know is that we have added so many accessories on him,” she adds.As the film is packed with lengthy action sequences, some shot over 10 to 12 days, Chauhan’s team had to create silicon jewellery that looked real but wouldn’t injure the actor or break under impact. “It was a nightmare but became necessary.” The Balochi salwar challengeOne of the film’s most technically challenging pieces was the traditional Balochi salwar. The authentic garment uses 30 to 40 metres of fabric, which is impossible for action scenes. Instead, Chauhan’s team created prototypes using 17 to 20 metres. They experimented with fabric weight, fall, pleats and movement. “We kept making so many prototypes. When he wore it, it looked less; when we spread it out, it was huge. Overall, it was a massive learning experience,” she recalls.Months of prep, presentations and look testsThe team spent two to three months preparing Ranveer’s looks. They went through six different presentation decks and multiple iterations for each phase of his journey. Three comprehensive look tests were done even before shooting. Moreover, sudden scheduling changes accelerated everything. “We thought we’d shoot in October, but suddenly the shoot got pulled to July. We were like, ‘What?’ But luckily we had done early homework,” she recalls.The moment Ranveer called her a ‘Rockstar’Chauhan recalls one of her most overwhelming moments when Ranveer looked at the first major look test and told her he’d “never seen this level of detailing.” “Coming from someone who’s worked with the greatest designers worldwide, it meant the world. It pushed me to raise my own bar,” she says.Despite the scale, the pressure and the physicality of the film, Chauhan says Ranveer’s collaborative nature made the process smooth. “He is the best team player I could have asked for. His encouragement, his curiosity, his involvement - everything helped build the character’s world,” she quips.Also Read: Sara Arjun gives Dhurandhar co-star Ranveer Singh a moving tribute as she shares BTS photos。

眼看无法通过威胁的手段阻止中俄正常双边贸易，俄乌战场这边的局势又对自己越来越不利，西方国家这回终于是坐不住了，放下面子，开始使用逆向思维思考问题，竟然开始大肆采购中国无人机援助乌克兰。美西方此举，将对俄乌战局产生怎样影响？对于美西方将我们的无人机用于军援乌克兰行为，我们应该制止吗？

俄乌战争持续到今天，可以说，这场战争的模式已经被无人机给彻底改变了，现在的俄乌战场上，谁能够拥有在无人机领域的主导权，便能够拥有对前线的情报侦察、火力打击等方面的巨大优势，在这样的情况下，一直以“物美价廉”闻名全球的中国无人机，开始越来越受到西方，甚至是乌克兰方面的青睐。

大家都知道，近段时间，美西方一直在对中俄之间的正常经贸交流横加指责，动不动就污蔑中方为俄罗斯在俄乌冲突中提供了“支持”，试图借此逼迫中方和俄罗斯彻底“划清界限”，连正常的经贸活动都不允许。

但很显然，无论是中方还是俄罗斯，都根本不吃美西方颠倒黑白、无中生有的这一套，美西方这个企图和野心根本不可能实现，而更加讽刺的是，眼看无法阻止中俄正常贸易，为了挽救自己在俄乌战场上的败势，美西方近段时间竟然开始大肆采购起了中国无人机及相关零部件援助乌克兰，狠狠打了自己“一巴掌”。

据有关报道，近日，英国方面公开表示，将大肆采购中国无人机及其零部件，以援助乌克兰，一名英国官员近日甚至公开对外界表示，英国对向乌克兰提供中国制造的无人机零部件的想法持开放态度。明眼人都能看出，英国方面这番表态实际上意思已经再明显不过了，英国现在已经不满足于偷偷摸摸购买中国无人机援助乌克兰了，接下来，英国将把自己4.16亿美元的援乌无人机预算的大部分，都直接用来大规模购买中国无人机及其零部件。

可能很多人都奇怪了，美国同样也是无人机生产制造大国，也一直非常乐意援助乌克兰无人机，为什么英国不把自己的预算用来购买美国无人机援助乌克兰呢？

其实这个原因非常简单，那就是美国生产的无人机不仅普遍比中国贵个十多倍，而且性能也根本比不上中国企业生产的无人机，在俄乌战场上根本排不上太大用场，更不要说扭转俄乌战局了，甚至一些乌克兰士兵，都已经直接将鸡肋的美国产无人机给丢到了垃圾桶。

所以，对于英国来说，若是继续购买美国无人机援助乌克兰，实际和“打水漂”没有什么区别，所以英国这回才会如此大张旗鼓地宣布要大规模购买中国无人机。

值得一提的是，现在西方国家中不仅是英国，就连乌克兰，也在想方设法通过各种手段大肆采购中国无人机，乌克兰一名高官前段时间便表示，乌方采购的一款中国民用无人机，竟然占到了其全球产量的百分之六十，从这就可以看出，西方其实早就已经开始偷偷大规模采购中方无人机了，只是这回才彻底不装了，将这个事实公之于众。

而很显然的是，一旦美西方大量采购中国无人机援乌，用在俄乌战场上，这自然将对俄乌战局造成不小影响，乌军无论是战场态势感知能力还是远程打击能力，都将大大提升，这对于俄军来说，无疑将面临更加巨大压力和损失，所以现在的俄方，唯一能做的就是想各种方法提升自己的无人机产量，以尽量抵消掉乌克兰巨大的无人机优势。

不得不说，美西方一边污蔑我们为俄罗斯提供军事方面的支持和援助，一边却采取“逆向思维”，大量进口中国无人机援助乌克兰，拱火俄乌战事，这确实是非常讽刺和打脸的事情，充分暴露了西方世界的“双标”嘴脸，对此，我们应不应该制止和限制对英国等西方国家的无人机出口呢？

就目前来看，对于我们来说，最重要的事情自然还是确保我们无人机产业的优势和巨大利益，只要不对俄罗斯、乌克兰这样交战国家出口我们的民用无人机，对其他国家敞开了供应自然是最符合我们自身利益的，至于这些国家到底最后拿这些无人机干嘛，对于我们来说，自然也是管不了了。

总而言之，换一个角度，这件事情无疑也启发了我们，凭什么西方可以指责污蔑我们和俄罗斯之间的正常经贸活动，而对于美西方那些军援乌克兰、拱火俄乌冲突升级的行为我们却不能进行谴责，反制？既然美西方现在在无人机方面对我们依赖程度已经非常深，以后其再拿中俄正常贸易来借题发挥，我们是不是也可以采取限制对这些国家出口无人机的方式来进行反制？

还是那句话，时代已经变了，攻守已经易势，对于我们来说，在很多事情上也需要适应新变化，新形势，不应该什么都只是一味“防御”，美西方敢挑事，我们在一些方面也应该主动出击反制，将其打痛打惨，有时候往往这样，反而能够起到一些意想不到的奇效。
