‘Why just a photo?’: How a Punjab government doctor landed a role in Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 after an on-set emergency

What are the odds that showing up to treat a film star’s injury earns you a spot in the movie itself? For a government doctor from a small town in Ludhiana district, those odds turned out into reality. Dr Sunny Ashok, a medical officer posted at the government health facility in Kalakh village under Pakhowal in Punjab, now has a cameo in Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge in a scene featuring Ranveer Singh. The Aditya Dhar film was extensively shot across Punjab, including locations such as a railway track near Ludhiana and Shahnewal Airport.
