Ranveer Singh is known for his dynamic versatility and ability to transform into a wide range of characters, and his latest look from the sets of Dhurandhar has once again left fans in awe. The actor’s leaked photos and videos from the film have gone viral, and social media users are already drawing comparisons to his iconic portrayal of Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat (2018). Some fans have also noted similarities between Ranveer’s Dhurandhar look and Ranbir Kapoor’s first leaked video from Animal.
In a video that surfaced online, Ranveer is seen sporting long tresses and dressed in a pathani kurta pajama while holding a cigarette in his hand, exuding a raw and intense vibe. This has triggered a flood of comparisons, with some fans recalling Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal look, in which he too was seen with long hair and a cigarette. One Reddit user pointed out the similarities, stating, “Did none of y’all watch Animal’s first leak? Cars, lines, protagonist in beard smoking his men carrying guns?”
However, the majority of fans are convinced that Ranveer’s look strongly evokes memories of his portrayal of Khilji in Padmaavat. One netizen argued, “He was animal before Animal lol. He played Alauddin Khilji. Kuch bhi bol dete he log aaj kal,” highlighting that Ranveer’s long hair and bold persona were evident in his portrayal of the historical villain long before Animal was even conceptualized. Others reminded fans that Ranveer’s Khilji look predates Animal and that Ranveer has always been a pioneer in his bold on-screen transformations.
Despite the mixed reactions, one thing is clear: Ranveer Singh is slaying in his new avatar for Dhurandhar. The film, which is an espionage thriller directed by Aditya Dhar, is already creating a buzz among fans. Besides Ranveer, the movie also stars a star-studded cast, including Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal. The film is set to hit theaters later this year, and fans are eager to see what promises to be another captivating performance from Ranveer.
As the anticipation builds, it’s safe to say that Ranveer Singh’s role in Dhurandhar will be one of the most talked-about in 2025, no matter which previous character he may be compared to!
