Aditya Dhar's reaction to Sara Arjun's Dhurandhar audition

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Mukesh revealed that the brief given to him for Yalina's was clear. The makers wanted someone completely fresh with a new approach. "Lagna chahiye ki wahan ki hai, kyunki usse yeh feel hota hai ki uss mulk mein aap jaa rahe ho. That’s the whole idea. If you've seen part 2, the scene where she says, ‘Are you a Hindustani agent?’ That was my audition script," he shared.

The casting director added that 50 people did that scene after being shortlisted. Eventually, they zeroed down to one person, and that was Sara. After the actress performed the scene as a part of her audition, Mukesh sent it to Aditya on WhatsApp. How did the director react? "He said, ‘Kaun hai yeh?’ I said she's the new girl, she's just done a few ad films as a child actor, and a few films as a child actor. Initially, we were thinking, ‘Will she look short?’ That is a calculation in casting. But then we thought kahani ke saath woh correct lagega that he’s going there and he’s trying to woo that girl," he recalled.

Mukesh added that Sara gave a 'kick-a** audition'. He further mentioned that he will soon share the actress' audition for Dhurandhar on social media, to let people know why she was considered for Yalina's role.
