Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh, who is known for his electrical energy, fearless fashion and versatile role options, is 40 years old today.
Ranveer Singh is considered one of the bankable stars for producers in the Hindi film industry. Since his explosive start at Band Baja Baaraat (2010) under Yash Raj Films, Ranveer has consistently treated his fans with his impeccable performance at different film styles.
From his soothing performance in ‘Lootera’ to displaying the underdog grit in ‘Gali Boy’, Ranveer has proved that no style or character is beyond his reach.
The ‘Gully Boy’ actor took over a decade to tick all the boxes and establish himself as an entertainment superstar and fan of grand fashion.
As the actor becomes one year old today, let’s portray some diverse character that Ranveer has brought to the audience.
Band Baja procession (2010)
In 2010, the actor made his debut with the ‘Band Baja Baaraat’, marking the beginning of a new era when Bollywood was flooded with Star Kids and actors who had been ruling the screen for decades.
In the film starring Manesh Sharma, Ranveer plays the role of a fun-fed young Bitu Sharma, who starts a wedding plan with an ambitious girl Shruti Kakar (Anushka Sharma). Despite his promise not to join the business with love, the pair soon finds out that they fell in love with each other, causing complications in their professional and personal life.
Ranveer’s performance was appreciated by critics and his fans.
Lotra (2013)
At the beginning of Ranveer, Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl was not well received by his fans or critics. Instead of considering his previous film options, the actor took a brave decision to remove himself from commercial cinema with Vikramaditya Motwen’s ‘Lootera’ in 2013. With this film, Ranveer performed his boundary as an actor.
O. Customized from a story by Henry, the film rests on a punchline and distributes it through a well -designed end. In the film, Ranveer plays an archaeologist Varun Srivastava, who travels to the village of Manikpur to study the land around the temple, owned by the landlord. Varun affects the zamindar with his knowledge and attracts his daughter Pakhi (Sonakshi Sinha).
However, Varun leads a mysterious second life, which ruins his relationship with Pakhi. Varun only runs to reunion with Pakhi under very different circumstances.
Golian’s Raslela Ram-Lala (2013)
As the release of his ‘Lootera’ in the same year, the actor turned 180 degrees to give one of his best performances since his debut, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s romantic drama through the romantic drama film ‘Ram-Lala’, unlike Deepika Padukone, which was at the time of his career.
He played the role of Rama, who falls in love with Leela (Deepika), but villagers oppose their union because they belong to communities that have been on obstacles for centuries. Due to continuous politics and hatred among his communities, Lovebirds decided to kill themselves, as they realized that they could not live together in peace.
Ranveer’s performance and chemistry with Deepika Padukone in the film was widely appreciated by critics and her fans.
Padmavat (2018)
With Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavat’, the actor came up with success, which definitely set new benchmarks. Some people will argue that his Khilji act in a period drama goes down as one of the best performances in the history of Indian cinema.
The film, which also starred in the lead roles by Shahid Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, was released in January 2018. In the film, Ranveer depicted Sultan Alauddin Khalji brilliantly, who is obsessed with catching the famous beauty of Mewar Rani Padmavati (Deepika).
There is only one in her way, her husband, Maharawal Ratan Singh (Shahid). Apart from ‘Padmavat’, the actor has also collaborated films like ‘Goliyon Ki Rasleela’ (2013) and ‘Bajirao Mastani’ (2015) with SLB.
Both films also starred Ranveer’s wife and actor Deepika Padukone.
Simba (2018)
After portraying a powerful, dark character in SLB’s ‘Padmavat’, Ranveer played a completely different role with the action-comedy film ‘Simba’, yet proved to be his limit as an actor. This time, the actor decided to try his hand in commercial films again to reach the Indian public. He joined Rohit Shetty’s police universe with the film ‘Simba’.
The film followed a corrupt police officer, a corrupt police officer working for a large drug smuggler, Sangram ‘Simba’ Kharero (Ranveer). When Durva’s brothers raped and murdered a girl close to Simba, he decides to go on the path of righteousness to avenge her.
Gali Boy (2019)
Undoubtedly, one of the best films of Ranveer is 2019 Zoya Akhtar-directorial ‘Gali Balli’, in which Alia Bhatt and Siddhant Chaturvedi were also acted.
Inspired by the story of two Mumbai -based rapars, Neezi and Divine, Gully Boy is one of the Bollywood films that pays homage to Indian wrappers. ‘Gully Boy’ was an important and commercial success. The film was also appreciated at the Berlin Film Festival, where it had a world premiere.

When Murad Mac meets the lion (Siddhant), he takes aka to ‘Gully Boy’ and starts feeling his dream and fights to live it. The story beautifully shows the inspirational journey of Ranveer’s character as he struggles to make it big as a rapper.
