Has Ranveer Singh's career ended? Madhavan shares his take: 'A couple of not-so-good films ...'
Ranveer Singh made a powerful entry into Bollywood with Band Baaja Baaraat in 2010, instantly capturing public attention with his energy and screen presence. Over the next few years, he solidified his standing as one of the industry's leading talents with a series of critically acclaimed and commercially successful performances. Films like Bajirao Mastani (2015), Padmaavat (2018), and Gully Boy (2019) showcased his versatility, enabling him to carve a niche as a bankable and dynamic actor. However, 2022 marked a challenging phase in his career. With underwhelming responses to films such as Jayeshbhai Jordaar and Cirkus, there were murmurs questioning his box office hold. Despite the dip, Ranveer returned in 2023 with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani , a film that rejuvenated his connection with audiences and critics. He also made a brief but memorable appearance in Singham Again. Yet, in the months that followed, there were no new project announcements, adding to speculation about his career trajectory. To make matters more uncertain, a film he was supposed to do with HanuMan director Prasanth Varma was scrapped. Additionally, long-discussed projects like Don 3 and Baiju Bawra have seen little to no progress, leaving fans curious and concerned.

Madhavan offered an insightful perspective on the supposed 'comeback' narrative often thrust upon actors. In an interview wirh the Indian Express, Madhavan dismissed the idea that Ranveer was ever out of the race. According to him, a couple of films not performing well doesn't define the career of an actor with immense talent and proven capability. He pointed out that such narratives are often fueled by the media's desire to build drama around success and failure. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo 'I don't think Ranveer Singh has ever been written off. A couple of 'not so good' films doesn't end an actor's career. He's truly good and an extraordinary actor. But, it makes a good copy in the press and media to keep writing people off and bring them back.' Drawing a comparison with some of Hollywood's greatest, Madhavan noted that actors like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks have maintained enduring legacies despite acting in a relatively limited number of films. He emphasized that both he and Ranveer prefer focusing on meaningful scripts over frequent appearances and are unbothered by the superficial pressures of constant output. Changing Audience Expectations and Slower, Stronger Storytelling Madhavan also highlighted how the evolving landscape of cinema demands greater attention to character depth and story substance. He acknowledged that today's viewers, more informed and discerning than ever, expect content that reflects their realities and values. Crafting such films, according to him, takes time and cannot be rushed. Thus, actors need to be patient and selective rather than constantly chasing visibility. He clarified that neither he nor Ranveer operates from a place of insecurity. The idea of fading relevance due to short breaks between films doesn't align with their creative approach. Media may try to write off and resurrect careers for headlines, but both actors are committed to longevity through quality storytelling rather than quantity. All Eyes on 'Dhurandhar' Ranveer's upcoming film Dhurandhar marks a significant chapter in his career. With a powerful lineup including R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal, the film promises a compelling cinematic experience. Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios and helmed by Aditya Dhar—who serves as the writer, director, and producer—the film has generated high expectations. Co-produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar, Dhurandhar is set for a theatrical release on December 5, and may very well silence all doubters once again.

Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Leela Bhansali Have A MAJOR Fallout Over Ranbir Kapoor's Love And War: Report
Ranveer Singh reportedly celebrated his 40th birthday with close friends, but left out Sanjay Leela Bhansali over fallout. Actor Ranveer Singh and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali have reportedly fallen out due to the director not offering him the lead role in Love & War. As per senior journalist, Subhash K Jha, Ranveer Singh is miffed about not leading Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film, after giving the director hits like Ramleela, Padmaavat and Bajirao Mastani. Sanjay Leela Bhansali features a love-triangle with Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal as the leads. As per the report, Ranveer was offered the role of the second lead, which the actor declined. The role then went on to Vicky Kaushal. Due to their fallout, Bhansali was also not invited to Ranveer Singh's birthday bash. The report claims, 'On July 6, Ranveer Singh celebrated his 40th birthday with a very private get-together where only close friends were welcome. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who gave Ranveer the superstar status with Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat, was not one of the invitees. The director and actor are no more close friends." Ranveer Singh was the star of Bhansali's previous three theatrical releases. He was also all set to lead Baiju Bawra with Alia Bhatt. However, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is currently focusing on Ranbir Kapoor's Love & War. In the meantime, Ranveer Singh signed Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar. The first look from Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar was unveiled on the occasion of his birthday on July 6. Ranveer Singh channels his beast mode in Dhurandhar, delivering a raw and relentless visual experience in the 2-minute 40-second first look. The film features an ensemble cast comprising Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal. However, Ranveer's latest teaser has also stirred major debate, not for the action-packed visuals or the character's intensity, but for his onscreen romantic pairing with 20-year-old actress Sara Arjun. The film was reportedly shot two years ago, which means Sara would've been just 18 at the time of filming, while Ranveer was 38. Despite the criticism, Ranveer has remained silent on the matter. Presented by Jio Studios, a B62 Studios production, Dhurandhar, written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar, produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar, releases on December 5. Meanwhile, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is currently working on his next ambitious project, Love & War, featuring a powerhouse trio of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. The film began shooting in November 2024, and nearly 50 per cent of the production has already been completed. Now, Bhansali is gearing up to film some of the most intense sequences of the film. Despite the scale and scope of the production, the film remains on track for its scheduled release in March 2026.

Did Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have a fall out due to 'Love And War' starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal? Here's what we know!
It seems all is not well between actor Ranveer Singh and filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali , a duo once known for delivering cinematic blockbusters together. According to senior journalist Subhash K Jha, the two may have had a falling out after Bhansali chose not to cast Ranveer in the lead role for his next big project, Love & War. The film, a grand love triangle, stars Ranbir Kapoor , Alia Bhatt , and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles. Reportedly, Ranveer was offered the second male lead but turned it down, and the role eventually went to Vicky Kaushal. This decision has apparently led to tensions between the actor and the director, who had previously collaborated on hits like Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani, and Padmaavat. The strain became more evident when Bhansali was noticeably absent from Ranveer's recent birthday celebrations. According to Deccan Chronicle, On July 6, Ranveer Singh celebrated his 40th birthday with a very private get-together where only close friends were welcome. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who gave Ranveer the superstar status with Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat, was not one of the invitees. The director and actor are no more close friends. Ranveer, who was earlier supposed to headline Bhansali's ambitious Baiju Bawra alongside Alia Bhatt, appears to have moved on professionally. While Bhansali shifts focus to Love & War with Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer has teamed up with Aditya Dhar for the action-packed Dhurandhar.
