Making of Dholida - Alia and Ranveer

I don't know if this has already been posted here but how cute is this? Ranveer was present during the shoot of Dholida? Does anyone know the backstory? Whatever it is, the way Ranveer supported and cheered for Aloo is uber cute!! For folks not interested in Alia, Ranveer comes towards the end of the video. 😆

Ranveer is doing the hook step better without any practice 😆

I'm sorry but she looks like one of the girls who act possessed at a mandir's altar. I'm surprised she hyped this up to be such high stakes in KWK. If this is high stakes then nagada sang dhol must have broken DP's back. 😆

If there is one actor who fits into SLB's world to the T, it is Ranveer. Both owe each other a lot, SLB got a brilliant actor for his half-baked, semi-intense films and of course box office success for Ranveer. 😆

I'm sorry but I dont know the KWK connection because I don't watch it. 😆

Yeah, Bhansali's world's are so over the top and vibrant, so Ranveer's energy and extra-ness really complements his style. Deepika and Alia are both very restrained relatively.

On a side note, I think Tetul said on some thread that this is the era of star directors and not star actors. And I think that's what it is. Bhansali has become a bigger brand than his actors now, much like Hirani or Karan.

Bajirao was quite restrained though, but I agree with your point for the other two films. Also helps that he is a great dancer and gave some really good numbers like Khalibali and Malhari, on par with usual slb level.

I feel SLB has always been a decent enough brand. I remember I had gone to watch Guzaarish because it was a SLB film, this is when I dont even like him. 😆

He always drew the audience, just that now the base has really expanded in last few years.

I don't follow KWK. I only watch specific episodes for actors I like, Ranveer being one of them. So I happened to watch the first episode of this season and Alia had come with Ranveer. She described this whole shoot for the song being mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting. She had body pains, cuts and bruises on her body (ref: this video). Apparently she was crying and Ranveer consoled her and visited the set to support her. Lol, the way you see her describe it on the show, you'd think she had walked through fire. So extra.

I haven't watched Gangubai so I was taken back after watching this video about her level of exaggeration because I don't find anything ground breaking about this. 🤔

It's more in the sense that the actors still were the more important thing about Devdas or Black. With Ram Leela, also it was Deepika's momentum that got it going. But at this point, he is bigger than Alia or Deepika's names. A-listers do help but audiences also seem to implicitly trust him. Over the years, directors just seem to be becoming more and more important to the film's branding.

What? Ranveer visited the set to console her? Oh god.😆 For a second, I really did think SLB called Ranveer on sets for consulting or something.

I do like Alia on screen but just cant stand her off screen antics/interviews, forget being ground breaking, this is no where close to what DP had done in Nagada sang dhol, Ranveer is too kind of a person to entertain Alia if that is why he went there, given how meanie mean all these people come across as off screen, I'd stay a mile away from them. 😆
