- Director Aditya Dhar praised makeup artist Preetisheel Singh for her dedication and skill on Dhurandhar 2

There are several reasons behind the mammoth success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. One of them is the attention to detail and creativity that went beyond creating some of the iconic looks in the film. Director Aditya Dhar recently took to Instagram to share a series of BTS pictures with the makeup and prosthetics artist Preetisheel Singh, praising her credibility.
The Post
Aditya Dhar wrote, "Here's to Preetisheel, my Sardarni sister from Pathankot. Mera Sher. When I first heard her name, I'll be honest, I was hesitant. There were all these opinions floating around: 'She's arrogant,' 'she's too expensive,' 'she only does prestige projects.' And then I met her. In that one meeting, all of it just fell apart. It reminded me of something I've learned the hard way in this industry: never build your truth on borrowed opinions. More often than not, they come from a place that has nothing to do with the person you're about to meet."
He continued, "What I found in Preetisheel was not just an artist of extraordinary ability but a deeply warm, grounded, and fiercely loving human being."
Furthermore, he added, "And then there was her constant voice in my ear, lifting me up in ways I didn't even know I needed. 'Aditya, tujhe pata nahi hai tu kya cheez hai, tujhe idea bhi nahi hai tu kya karne wala hai.' What she and her team pulled off on this film is nothing short of extraordinary. When most of the crew was waking up, they were already on set. And when everyone wrapped, they were still there. Running on barely 2-3 hours of sleep, day after day, with a kind of relentless focus that you rarely witness. No complaints. No noise. Just pure commitment to the vision."
