Salman Khan and Apoorva Lakhia collaborated for the first time on a war drama titled Battle of Galwan, based on the Galwan valley clash between India and China. However, through the shoot, a lot changed between the two countries, following which the Ministry of Defence requested Salman Khan and team to go fictional with the film. "The present officials didn't want to tamper with the equations between India and China. They requested Salman Khan to reshoot the film and add a fictional spin to the story.

The casting of Sara Arjun opposite Ranveer Singh in Dhurandhar sparked widespread conversation after the trailer release, especially around the noticeable age gap between the two actors. Now, casting director Mukesh Chhabra has revealed that he and director Aditya Dhar were initially unsure about finalising her for the role.
