Ranveer Singh, known for his versatility and energetic screen presence, is set to appear in the upcoming action thriller Dhurandhar, scheduled to release on December 5, 2025. Directed by Aditya Dhar, known for Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dhurandhar is an action-packed spy thriller. As fans eagerly anticipate this new venture, it's worth revisiting some of Singh's most memorable action performances that have solidified his place as a leading man in Bollywood.

Singh's portrayal of Peshwa Bajirao I in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani (2015) stands out as a monumental action role. He underwent rigorous training to prepare for the intense battle sequences. The film showcases grand-scale battles, duels with Mughal forces, and Singh's physical commitment to the role. His fierce expressions and skilled choreography made his performance iconic.

In Rohit Shetty's Simmba (2018), Singh transitioned to the role of a police officer, Sangram "Simmba" Bhalerao, showcasing a different style of action. This film blends humor with high-octane stunts and chase sequences. Singh's charisma and energy shone through as he transformed from a reluctant cop to a fierce avenger. The movie's kinetic action and punchy one-liners highlighted Singh's versatility.

Singh took on the role of the antagonist Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat (2018). His powerful performance enhanced the film's epic battle sequences. Singh embodied Khilji's ruthlessness, adding both physicality and psychological depth to the action.

Even in a cameo appearance in Singham Again (2024), Singh brought a fresh twist to the franchise with his lively dialogues and energy. Although the film received mixed reviews, Singh's performance was noted as a bright spot, with critics commending his comic timing.

Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela (2013) saw Singh as Ram, combining romance with stylized action. His agility and strength in the action sequences reflected the character's determination. Singh's intensity in both the romantic and violent confrontations underscored his range as an actor.

Dhurandhar is written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar, and produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar. The film features an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun. Dhurandhar is set against the backdrop of a high-stakes intelligence operation, following a covert agent navigating political conspiracies, national security threats, and personal dilemmas. The film is presented by Jio Studios and B62 Studios. The first look of Dhurandhar suggests a raw, relentless, and high-octane action thriller. The film's music is composed by Shashwat Sachdev, with vocals by Jasmine Sandlas and a collaboration by Hanumankind.

With Dhurandhar slated for release on December 5, 2025, it is expected to clash with Prabhas's The Raja Saab at the box office. The film is anticipated to be a significant action spectacle, potentially raising the bar for Singh's performances in the genre.
