Aditya Dhar praised Dhurandhar costume designer Smriti Chauhan in a heartfelt post after the film's massive success. He highlighted her dedication, noting she created over 10,000 costumes and 250+ looks for Ranveer Singh's character. Dhar said she 'built a world' through her designs, adding he felt grateful to witness her journey closely.

Dhurandhar director Aditya Dhar has been sharing special notes for his crew, who worked tirelessly on the film amid the massive success of both parts, Dhurandhar (released in December 2025) and Dhurandhar: The Revenge (released March 19, 2026). He has now penned a heartfelt note for the film’s costume designer, Smriti Chauhan, on social media, praising how, in one of their very first conversations, they discussed how Jaskirat begins with a hint of colour and, by the end, Hamza is almost swallowed by black. He added that, somehow, along the way, the colour quietly leaves his life without drawing attention to it.

He added that, somewhere along the way, the colour quietly leaves his life without drawing attention to it. At that point, it was just a thought, a 'tiny, slightly mad' detailing idea he threw at her, and she simply held on to it, and that’s when he knew.

On Friday, April 10, Dhar shared photos of Smriti with him and Ranveer Singh from the sets of Dhurandhar, writing: "While you kept saying, 'Adi Sir, I don’t know if I’m the right person for this,' I was sitting there thinking, 'This is exactly why you are.' You didn’t come with baggage. You didn’t come with a fixed ‘style’ of what this world should look like. You came with honesty and that dangerous thing called ZIDD."
