In a surprising move that has sent shockwaves through the Bollywood community and his massive fanbase, Ranveer Singh has deleted all of his Instagram posts just a day before his 40th birthday. The actor, who turns 40 on July 6th, 2025, wiped his account clean on Saturday, leaving behind only a cryptic story that has fueled speculation and concern.

Singh's Instagram account, which boasts over 47 million followers, previously showcased his vibrant personality, quirky fashion choices, movie promotions, and glimpses into his personal life. Now, the page displays a black background as his profile picture, and all posts, photos, and videos have vanished. The only remaining content is an Instagram story featuring two crossed swords accompanied by the numbers "12:12". This minimalist post, devoid of any explanation or caption, has ignited a flurry of theories and reactions across social media platforms.

While some fans expressed concern, with comments like "sab theek hai naa? (everything fine?)” and “Hope everything is fine,” others speculated that this could be a strategic promotional stunt for his upcoming film, Dhurandhar. Many netizens are calling Ranveer's act a PR stunt. The buzz suggests that the first look of Dhurandhar might be revealed on his birthday, July 6th, at 12:12 PM, aligning with the cryptic message in his Instagram story.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar is reportedly set against the backdrop of a politically volatile India, unfolding during the golden era of the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW). The film features an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal, promising an intense political thriller.

According to Bollywood Hungama, the makers of Dhurandhar plan to release the first look of the movie on July 6th. A source told the news portal, “Ranveer knows something special is coming, a true cinematic treat, but he hasn't seen the final cut. It's entirely Aditya's ingenious way of making this birthday not just memorable but truly iconic for his superstar”.

Adding to the intrigue, a behind-the-scenes video from the sets of Dhurandhar recently went viral. In the clip, Ranveer Singh was spotted with long hair and a flowing robe, drawing comparisons to his character Alauddin Khilji from Padmaavat. Sanjay Dutt was also seen on set, further fueling excitement about the film.

Whether this social media cleanse is a calculated promotional move or a personal decision remains to be seen. However, the timing, just before his 40th birthday and the rumored release of Dhurandhar's first look, suggests a strategic plan. Fans are eagerly awaiting further updates and the potential unveiling of Dhurandhar on July 6th. As Ranveer Singh steps into a new decade, all eyes are on him and what he has in store.
