Ranveer Singh stunned the viewers with his ruthless look, paired with the amplifying tracks, sending them into a frenzy. Channeling the incredible true events, ‘Dhurandhar’ revolves around the gory story of forces infiltrating the powerful enemy territory. Since the first look, the hype around the film has caused tremors on social media. Starring Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and many more, the film will be released on December 5, despite the surrounding controversies. However, this film is not the first time Singh has been part of stories based on real people or real events. The 40-year-old’s acting exudes relatability; however, some certainly left a mark with their commendable performance. Let’s take a look at Ranveer Singh’s real-life characters in the films.

Donning the grit and passion of the former captain of the Indian men’s cricket team, Kapil Dev, Singh managed to recreate the energy experienced in 1983 during the World Cup season. Directed by Kabir Khan, ‘83’ displayed the incidents, situations, and the mind-blowing leadership. From the edge-of-the-seat moments to the behind-the-scenes at the stadium, the 2021 film celebrates the win from all aspects. Alongside Singh, the film starred Harrdy Sandhu, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Adinnath Kothare, Boman Irani, Saqib Saleem, and many more. The film can be watched on Netflix.

The conversations, the fight sequences, the songs – every bit of the film created a magnificent impact on the viewers. Helming the role of Peshwa Bajirao, Ranveer Singh led the film with profound compassion and mastery. Channeling heroism, the film revolves around the commander who never lost a battle in his 20 years of military career, and the complex love that led to rifts. Alongside Singh, the film stars Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Tanvi Azmi, Vaibhav Tatwawadi, Mahesh Manjrekar, and many more.

The grand film revolves around the morals, boundaries, and the love that can’t be bought. Donning the role of Alauddin Khalji, the film marked Singh’s negative role that haunts viewers to the core. Channeling obsession, ‘Padmaavat’ revolves around the ruthless leader who stops at nothing for what he wants – and plagues himself after hearing about the innate beauty of the Queen from the rival kingdom. Alongside Singh, the film stars Shahid Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditi Rao Hydari, Jim Sarbh, Anupriya Goenka, and many more.

The raps? Still heard in the corners of Mumbai. Inspired by the stories of Indian street rappers Naezy and Divine, ‘Gully Boy’ gives the story of a legend in the making, tainted by social issues and a complicated love life. Channeling the underdog energy, the film revolves around a hopeful poet from the chawls, becoming acquainted with people who show him the rightful direction.
