Ranveer Singh: The Once-Shining Star Now in Waters Deep!

Once hailed as the life of the party, Ranveer Singh is now treading water in an ocean of mediocrity. With three back-to-back mega flops—83, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, and Cirkus—alongside a mildly successful venture like Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, it seems the actor’s star power is dimming faster than his infamous neon wardrobe.

Ranveer had high hopes pinned on Don, the adaptation of the beloved franchise, but news has hit that the project is shelved. Talk about a plot twist! And just when you thought things couldn’t get worse, Mukesh Khanna, the original Shaktimaan, is throwing shade like it's going out of style. Khanna has openly disapproved of Ranveer stepping into the superhero suit, citing his “image”—you know, the one that involves a nude photo shoot that made everyone question their life choices.

In a recent revelation, Khanna shared that Ranveer spent three hours trying to convince him to let him don the Shaktimaan cape. Three hours! Imagine that conversation: “Come on, Mukesh, I can totally be your superhero!” Sorry, Ranveer, but at this point, you’d have a better shot convincing us that wearing a banana suit at the Oscars was a fashion statement.

With no solo releases on the horizon and all hope resting on Singham Again, another mega multi-starrer action flick, it’s clear Ranveer is trying to cling to whatever lifeboat he can find. But let’s be real: when your big break hinges on a film that features more stars than a galaxy, it’s not exactly a solo career comeback. It feels more like he’s auditioning for a role as a background extra in the Hollywood blockbuster of failure.

Remember when Ranveer was the industry’s darling, pulling off bold roles and breaking stereotypes? Now he’s become the poster boy for “what not to do in a career.” The charm that once made him irresistible seems to be trapped in a time capsule alongside his confidence, and we’re left wondering if he’s just a faded memory of the actor he once was.
