28 May
Summary
- Director Kunal Kohli champions Ranveer Singh against box office judgment.
- Kohli argues that film failures do not define an actor's true worth.
- He encourages viewing actors' performances beyond ticket sales.

Filmmaker Kunal Kohli has voiced strong support for actor Ranveer Singh, pushing back against the industry's tendency to solely judge performers by box office performance. Kohli stated in a recent interview that every actor, regardless of their stature, will inevitably experience a flop film, and this does not define their career or talent.
Kohli stressed that setbacks are a normal part of the industry and urged a more balanced perspective. He noted that Ranveer Singh is a capable actor whose brilliant performances in films like 'Dhurandhar' should be recognized, even if some movies do not perform well commercially. Kohli advised audiences to move past commercial failures and appreciate the actor's craft.
His comments echo his earlier praise for 'Dhurandhar 2', which he hailed as a major success. The film, released on March 19, 2026, features Ranveer Singh as Hamza Ali Mazari. The sequel's ensemble cast includes Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt, continuing the narrative of Singh's character.
