Recently, the manager Aditya Dhar Shivakumar Panicker has written a note for the editor for ‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Dhurandhar 2’.Aditya praised the editor’s profession and wrote in X, “Here’s to Shivkumar Panicker. Some relationships in filmmaking aren’t built in one film; they’re built on years of trust, instinct and being there for each other when it matters most. Shiv has been that to me and so much more. He’s not just my editor. He’s my truest brother, he’s my truest friend. It’s so overwhelming, it humbles you.“He also added: “The kind of person who would fight for you, fight for you, and if it ever comes down to it, risk everything. And then there’s the genius. Shiv is without a doubt one of the sharpest and most intelligent film editors I’ve ever met. But what makes him truly extraordinary is not just his craft, it’s his instincts.”“The pace, the emotion and the understanding of the story is almost uncannily accurate. He doesn’t just edit a film, he gives it life. What we got out with Dhurandhar is nothing short of a miracle. Yes, the decision to split the film into two parts was mine, but he took the responsibility of taking that decision completely. And doing it flawlessly was extraordinary,” he continued.“The timelines were honestly the craziest I’ve ever seen. Where films of this scale take months, sometimes years, to edit, Shiv delivered in a matter of days. the days And he didn’t just deliver, he excelled. The strictest version of the film possible, under pressure that would break most people. What we achieved with Dhurandhar, the scale, quality and timing, is unheard of, he added in the message.““It breaks all the conventional rules that filmmaking has followed for years. And much of that credit goes to him. But what makes this even more special is that his contribution didn’t start in the editing room. It was there from the beginning.Like a silent co-director. Through writing. Through preparation. Through the chaos of the shooting. By post Always present. Always thinking Always pushing the film to be better. He never once accepted the pressure to dilute the work. He never chose comfort over conviction. He never backed down.”“That integrity, that hunger, that loyalty is rare. And it’s something I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. I honestly can’t see myself making a film without him. Not now. Not ever. In many ways, he’s the responsibility of my life, as much as he’s made each of my films his own. Some contributions can be measured. And then Shiv captures a person’s journey in a way that doesn’t. Endless love, respect and gratitude. Dhurandhar will always carry his heartbeat inside.”An ensemble cast of ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ is included Ranveer SinghSanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi.
