Ranveer Singh's 'Dongri Ke Sultan' song cut from 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge'; singer Mujtaba Aziz Naza reveals, 'Don't know...'

Singer Mujtaba Aziz Naza says 'Dongri Ke Sultan' was filmed on a grand scale in Mumbai but was cut from 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge.' Aditya Dhar's 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' is almost four hours long, and still, the filmmaker had to leave out a lot of footage that was shot for the film, including a song.

The filmmaker had to drop a song titled 'Dongri Ke Sultan', crooned by singer Mujtaba Aziz Naza, which was filmed on a massive scale.

However, it couldn't make it to the final edit of the espionage thriller.

In an interview with the Mid-Day, Mujtaba Aziz Naza shared, "We had shot three songs—'Dongri Ke Sultan', and (the cover of) 'Jumma Chumma De De', and 'Apni Toh Jaise Taise'. The setup was elaborate—Ranveer (Singh) and Rakesh Bedi were shown in a car, while there was a band on a truck performing.

We shot the song over a day."The singer even shared where the song would have been incorporated in the movie. He said, "That scene was actually when Ranveer (Singh) was coming back from winning the election. There was a lot of fun and a lot of audience. There were at least 10 cars. We shot this in South Mumbai one day last Ramadan (2025)."Mujtaba Aziz Naza added that his whole group was present for the shoot. He added that his brother Munir was also part of the scene.

Calling the setup and shoot "amazing," he added, "We had a band on a truck, drummers in front of us, and a car ahead with Ranveer and Rakesh Bedi."In the same conversation, he revealed that the sequence was shot for an entire day. He said, "We recorded it live. He set up cameras on the buildings as well, and on the ground floor too. A couple of people were shooting from the buildings, and Aditya repeatedly requested the residents to not shoot from their mobile phones.

He had a very big team."
