On Wednesday i.e., 6th July, Ranveer Singh turns 37. Although the number is not as round as 35 or 40, it is still important. Because this often indicates that you have been active for 10–12 years and are going to join the category of “senior actor/star” in the Hindi film business. The OG superstars, actors older than Ranveer, are no longer guarantees for box office success. Therefore, it is up to Ranveer and his contemporaries to do so at this pivotal time when the cinema industry is yearning for a comeback. And he might have the best chance of succeeding in it.
People have been discussing the resurgence of Bollywood for months. So, does the sector require one? Looking at the data would indicate that it does. At the box office, none of the movies starring the biggest stars have performed well, and certainly not to the level that was anticipated. The three greatest blockbusters of the year have been an Alia Bhatt-starring Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie, a horror comedy starring Kartik Aaryan, and (surprise, surprise) a Vivek Agnihotri movie on the flight of Kashmiri Pandits. Even these three-fall short of the staggering sums made by south Indian movies like RRR, KGF: Chapter 2, and Vikram. Bollywood has to up its strike rate without a doubt.
Not only will the next six months define the makeup of Bollywood, but they will also shape these younger actors’ second careers. They had been the “youngsters” living in the background of their elders for ten years. But now they have the chance to make a name for themselves and take the reins as Bollywood’s leaders for the foreseeable future. Ranveer Singh could already be privy to this information.
