Ranveer Singh has proved he can play any role on screen
right from  ‘Band Baaja Baarat’ to ‘83’.
The actor will be next seen in YRF’s ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’, Shankar’s remake of
his blockbuster ‘Anniyan’, and Rohit Shetty’s ‘Cirkus’.

The actor is currently enjoying the success of his film 83. Though the film has failed to impress at the box office, the actor has been lauded by critics and audiences alike.

The film 83 was released on December 24, 2021. The film collected around Rs 15 crore on the day of its release but later, the collection was not up to the mark. This response has left its producers, Deepika Padukone, Kabir Khan, Vishnu Vardhan Induri, Sajid Nadiadwala, Reliance Entertainment and 83 Film Ltd, in shock.
