Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar Shoot: Viral Vanity Van Claim Clarified, Rumours Put To Rest - DEETS

Social media chatter around Dhurandhar has intensified after viewers spotted three “Hamza” vans listed in the end credits on Netflix, reviving last year's claims that Ranveer Singh used three vanity vans on set. A production source and a verification by Hindustan Times now dispute those assumptions with contextual details.

The debate over Ranveer Singh's on-set facilities first surfaced in 2023, when reports suggested the actor needed three vanity vans for film shoots. Those reports stayed unconfirmed, but Dhurandhar's credits mentioning multiple vans for Hamza prompted users to link the old rumours with the new Netflix release.

Ranveer Singh Dhurandhar credits and Thai vans clarification

According to Hindustan Times, the renewed claim stems mainly from online speculation. A Reddit user had shared a screenshot from Dhurandhar's end credits that mentioned three vehicles under Hamza's name: Hamza van, Hamza staff van and Hamza normal van. Many users interpreted these listings as three separate vanity vans for Ranveer Singh.

A source associated with the film countered that reading, stating that the term “van” in the credits did not denote vanity vans. Instead, these were standard Thai passenger vehicles, used as part of the extensive transport plan during the Bangkok schedule, rather than luxury dressing-room vans assigned only for the lead actor.

The source clarified the vehicle arrangement in detail, linking it to the long Thailand leg of the production. "These were Thai vans being referred to in the end credits from Dhurandhar's Bangkok shoot, which had a long shooting schedule. One vanity and two cars (Thai vans) were deployed for the actor, staff, luggage, etc, to travel around the locations," the source tells Hindustan Times.

The Bangkok schedule involved several outdoor sets, rapid company moves and different neighbourhoods across the city. Production therefore used multiple vehicles to transport Ranveer Singh, crew members and equipment safely and on time. The source stressed that these were operational necessities rather than extra perks linked only to one star.

Two Thai vans	Staff, luggage and location travel

Ranveer Singh Dhurandhar transformation and team requirements

The filming structure for Dhurandhar also added pressure on transport and support plans. The team shot Dhurandhar and its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, back-to-back as one long project. The footage was later divided into two films because of the overall duration, increasing the need for reliable logistics and support staff.

The source linked those logistics to Ranveer Singh's changing look and schedule. "Even now, with the teaser, you see two characters and a drastic transformation of Ranveer. He sometimes shed 15 kgs, gained 25 kgs within months or days and shot for 12–14 hours a day. In general, with actors, sometimes for drastic body transformations, a gym or private chef or both on sets are required for the magic to happen within production timelines," adds the source, clarifying that the actor was not given anything 'extra' but just what the shoot and his work required.

Production members indicated that such facilities are standard when a role demands rapid physical changes and long shooting hours. The presence of trainers, chefs or extra crew is tied to health, continuity and timelines, not special favours. In Ranveer Singh's case, these arrangements were described as aligned with the film's scale and schedule.

Attention has now shifted towards Dhurandhar: The Revenge, as the new poster and teaser highlight Ranveer Singh's evolved appearance. The actor appears sharper and more intense as Hamza, with darker styling and a more commanding screen presence. These visuals have fuelled fresh interest in how the demanding shoot shaped both the performance and the production setup.
