Dhurandhar Actress Sara Arjun Calls Ranveer Singh Her 'Most Favourite Co-Star' - The Man Behind Hamza Fever

Sara Arjun has placed Ranveer Singh at the very top of her wish list of co-stars after working together on Dhurandhar Part 1. While Ranveer leads staggering box-office figures and shapes current Hindi cinema trends, Sara describes a co-actor whose behaviour on set left a lasting personal impact.

The actor’s recent film Dhurandhar has already turned Hamza into a full-blown pop culture wave. Hamza Fever spread across India, pushed dialogues into everyday talk, inspired viral memes and edits, and drove fan-made videos long after the film left theatres, keeping the character constantly visible.

Dhurandhar Hamza Fever Ranveer Singh: On-set warmth and support

Behind that ferocious screen avatar, crew members saw a very different Ranveer Singh. Colleagues speak about kindness, patient collaboration and an easy atmosphere around the star. Sara Arjun echoed this sentiment most strongly, recalling how the senior actor’s presence on the Dhurandhar set never felt overpowering or distant.

"He is just such a friendly human, and he's so encouraging, so sweet. I didn't feel intimidated at all. He never used his seniority to make me feel like that. In fact, he was the most encouraging person, he's just the best. I love him so much as a person, and I always say that he's going to be my most favourite co-actor..."

Sara’s experience came when Ranveer is sitting near the summit of the industry, credited with record-breaking openings and reshaping commercial expectations. Yet, according to Sara, there was no trace of hierarchy on set. Seniority translated into guidance and reassurance, not distance or pressure, reinforcing his reputation as grounded.

Sara also focused on Ranveer’s serious approach to craft and the larger filmmaking ecosystem. For Sara, Dhurandhar revealed how one star can influence the entire environment. That reflection led to her strongest professional praise for Ranveer, which she believes will guide how future projects feel.

"No matter who I work with in the future, I don't think anybody can top Ranveer, he has set the bar so high. As an actor, he's so involved in his own craft, but he also takes care of the whole set. He looks at it (filmmaking) as teamwork. He's equally involved in what you are doing, and equally involved in what the person on set was designing, the set is doing. So those things really matter. He carries all of us together," she said.

Many earlier collaborators have shared similar views, noting that Ranveer’s interest does not stop when the camera cuts. Departments across Dhurandhar, from design to direction, reportedly felt noticed and heard. That attitude helped sustain the Hamza Fever phenomenon, since every element around the character received strong attention and energy.

As Dhurandhar Part 1 continues to be remembered for Hamza’s dominance and the frenzy around Hamza Fever, attention is shifting to Dhurandhar Part 2. Viewers expect Ranveer to drive Hamza into an even larger space, while carrying co-stars and crew along, suggesting the Hamza phase of Ranveer’s career is still very active.
