Ranveer Returns With A Roar In ‘Dhurandhar’
The first look carries his stamp — raw, riveting, and unpredictable. Fans wasted no time hailing his comeback
He’s is back — and in blistering form. The first look of his upcoming film Dhurandhar dropped on his 40th birthday, July 6, set the internet ablaze within minutes.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the teaser showcases Ranveer in a fierce, unrelenting avatar. Sharing the clip on Instagram, he captioned it: “An inferno will rise. Uncover the true story of The Unknown Men.”
The video opens with Ranveer walking through a dimly lit passageway, a tense voiceover hinting at chaos on the brink. A close-up follows — bloodied face, long hair, thick beard — as he lights a cigarette, eyes blazing. The teaser then erupts into action: high-octane stunts and face-offs with powerhouses Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar, both matching his intensity frame for frame.
Ranveer’s gritty, rugged look has drawn comparisons to his menacing turn as Khilji in Padmaavat and Ranbir Kapoor’s transformation in Animal. But Dhurandhar carries his stamp — raw, riveting, and unpredictable. Fans wasted no time hailing his comeback.
“Finally, ab hoga Ranveer Singh ka comeback!” wrote one user. Another gushed, “This is fire!”
Though his recent films have seen mixed fortunes — barring the success of Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani — Dhurandhar is being seen as a turning point.
“He gets under the skin of his characters. Whether it’s action, comedy, or dance — he’s a complete star. Dhurandhar proves he’s back, and in top form,” says a leading exhibitor.
With its dark, immersive tone and Ranveer’s magnetic screen presence, Dhurandhar is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year.
