Sanawar: The New Filming Hotspot
The news of ‘Dhurandhar 2’, starring Ranveer Singh, is currently a hot topic, particularly concerning its shooting location. The film is being shot at The Lawrence School, Sanawar, where Bollywood icon Sanjay Dutt studied, driving expectations sky-high and creating a stir across Bollywood. This school in Himachal Pradesh has quickly become a Bollywood hotspot, now making headlines again as the chosen site for Ranveer Singh’s action blockbuster, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’.
Nestled amidst the hills of Himachal Pradesh, The Lawrence School, Sanawar, with its lush natural surroundings, old-world architecture, and rich academic history, intensely attracts filmmakers. Its unique ambiance is captivating celebrities; actress Yami Gautam, for instance, reportedly visited the school with director Aditya Dhar and thoroughly enjoyed its serene atmosphere. Filmmakers are queuing up to shoot here, drawn by the campus’s natural beauty and heritage structures.
Dutt’s Alma Mater: A Filming Legacy
The school holds a particularly strong personal connection for Sanjay Dutt, who also starred as ‘Chaudhary SP Aslam’ in the first ‘Dhurandhar’ film. Often speaking emotionally about his school days, Dutt was deeply moved by the help the school provided to local students during the COVID-19 pandemic. He appreciated their focus on children’s emotional well-being alongside education, even writing an appreciation note to the headmaster and faculty. He proudly credits the school with teaching him how to face difficulties.
An interesting fact that solidifies the school’s place on the Bollywood shooting map is that the first part of ‘Dhurandhar’ was also filmed at this very campus for three days. Now, with the sequel also being shot there, a strong bond has been forged between this franchise and the school. With such compelling connections and a unique backdrop, ‘Dhurandhar 2’ is raising huge expectations among audiences. Stay tuned for more updates related to this film.
Looking Ahead
The recurring ‘Dhurandhar’ presence at Sanawar transcends a mere shooting location; it forges a unique cinematic identity. This strategic bond significantly raises expectations for a film promising depth alongside spectacle. We keenly await how this unique synergy defines a new benchmark for compelling storytelling in Bollywood.
