From historical epics to commercial entertainers, Singh has employed action consistently in order to develop his screen image as well as his storytelling repertoire.
Bajirao Mastani
In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani, Singh essayed Peshwa Bajirao with both regal ferocity and raw energy. The battle scenes in the film, set against Mughal armies, required precision and preparation, both of which the actor provided. His body language during these war scenes was widely appreciated and was one of his best pieces of work.

Padmaavat

His performance in the battle sequences was not only physical but also psychological, adding depth to the antagonist’s character. Critics and audiences alike noted how his ferocity elevated the impact of the film’s climax.
Gully Boy
Gully Boy remains one of Ranveer Singh’s standout films, featuring Alia Bhatt and Siddhant Chaturvedi in key roles.
