Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 3: Ranveer Singh’s latest look has sparked a frenzy online after photos from the sets of his upcoming film were leaked. Sporting a long beard, wild hair, and at times a turban, the actor’s intense new avatar is drawing comparisons to his portrayal of Alauddin Khalji in the 2018 film Padmaavat.
In the images, which are believed to be from the sets of Aditya Dhar’s forthcoming directorial, Ranveer appears in what seems to be an action sequence. Dressed in a long kurta with his hair untamed, he exudes intensity as he stands with a group of men, seemingly part of his “gang,” in a rural town backdrop. His rugged look, complete with a bulging biceps and thick beard, has fans recalling his fierce portrayal of Khalji.
Fans are speculating that the actor’s look is for Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, a film which was announced last year. The project, which has generated a lot of excitement, boasts a stellar cast, including Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal. Ranveer Singh confirmed his involvement with a post on social media, sharing a black-and-white collage of the film’s cast and offering a heartfelt message for his fans: “This one is for my fans, who have been so patient with me, and been clamouring for a turn like this. I love you all, and I promise you, this time, a cinematic experience like never before.”
Reacting to the leaked images, fans have been quick to draw parallels with his Khilji character from Padmaavat, expressing their excitement over the actor’s return to such a powerful role. One fan commented, “Sardar look mein bhi Khilji wali intensity!” while another said, “Ranveer’s Khilji look is back, and it’s even more intense. Can’t wait to see him on the big screen again!”
