Ranveer Singh, the entertainment powerhouse

THE GULLY BOY has grown up. And how.

After a few forgettable outings at the box office — read Jayeshbhai Jordaar (2022) and Cirkus the same year — when people were beginning to wonder about his bankability as an actor, Singh came back with the Karan Johar directorial Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani the following year, which got people talking about his performance once again. Singh played Rocky Randhawa, a flamboyant Punjabi and a fitness freak with a heart of gold. This performance reiterated Singh’s enormous talent, evident from the time he stormed into the movie business in 2010 with Yash Raj Films’ Band Baaja Baaraat, where he played the quirky wedding planner Bittoo Sharma opposite Anushka Sharma. That film went on to become a major hit, and Ranveer Singh announced his arrival in Bollywood.
