The Dhurandhar film series, directed by Aditya Dhar, has become a global sensation not only for its intense action and star-studded cast but also for its extraordinary soundtrack. Composed and directed by Shashwat Sachdev, the music has played a vital role in the franchise's success. Recently, Aditya Dhar took to social media to share behind-the-scenes photos
Aditya Dhar began his tribute by saying, "Here’s to Shashwat Sachdev". He wrote, "Some collaborations go beyond work, they become deeply personal. Sha has been that for me. Not just the music composer of Dhurandhar but someone I see as a younger brother, someone I’ve shared chaos, silence, ideas and some of the most intense creative days with. What he’s done on this film still doesn’t feel real when I say it out loud."

Dhurandhar director revealed the incredible speed at which the music was produced. Aditya Dhar noted, "And then Dhurandhar Part 2, 14 songs in 11 days, BGM in 3. At that speed, at that scale, with that kind of emotional depth and that kind of extraordinary quality, it’s beyond crazy. And what makes it even more unreal is how both the albums, released within a span of 3 months, reached top global charts, with almost every song being loved and celebrated, something that’s an absolute rarity for any film in the world."
Further more, Aditya Dhar added, "For almost 15 days, my house stopped being a house. It became a living, breathing studio. Every room had something going on, music in the living room, recordings in the bedrooms, writing in the balconies. Singers and musicians walking in and out endlessly. Days and nights just blending into each other. 21–22 hour stretches, no real sense of time, just a shared madness to get it right."
Aditya Dhar praised Shashwat Sachdev's commitment, saying, "And right at the center of all of it was Sha. Holding everything together. Creating, composing, guiding, reacting, evolving, all at once. There were days he was unwell, running on barely any sleep, dealing with health scares but he still showed up fully, without compromise, without slowing down. That kind of resilience is rare."
The director also credited legendary lyricist Irshad Kamil. He concluded by highlighting Sachdev's artistic integrity, "What makes Sha truly special is not just his talent. It’s his hunger. His refusal to settle. His instinct to keep digging until something feels honest. He doesn’t chase easy, he chases truth in every note. That kind of commitment doesn’t come from skill alone. It comes from love. Love to achieve God through music. And you can feel that love in every second of Dhurandhar. Always grateful. Always rooting for you."
