Ranveer Singh Steps Out In Dhurandhar Look Amid Sara Arjun Age-Gap Row
Ranveer Singh appears in his Dhurandhar avatar amid backlash over age gap with co-star Sara Arjun. Paps cheer, internet remains divided.
Ranveer Singh made his first public appearance since the release of the much-talked-about Dhurandhar teaser, stepping out in full character at the Mumbai airport. Dressed in his onscreen avatar, the actor looked intense in a head-to-toe black outfit—leather jacket, black tee, pants, a silver chain, dark shades, and a black cap. His rugged look was completed with long hair, a full-grown beard, and a styled moustache, staying completely in sync with his feral, gritty image in the film.
As soon as Ranveer walked out, paparazzi began chanting, 'Blockbuster movie!" and 'Love the look, Baba!" — clearly impressed by the transformation. Fans echoed similar excitement online, celebrating the return of the actor in a never-seen-before avatar.

However, it wasn't all praise. Ranveer's latest teaser has also stirred major debate, not for the action-packed visuals or the character's intensity, but for his onscreen romantic pairing with 20-year-old actress Sara Arjun. The film, reportedly shot two years ago, means Sara would've been just 18 at the time of filming, while Ranveer was 38.
The Internet's reaction was swift and sharp. One user questioned, 'Can you imagine a 40-year-old man romancing an 18-year-old girl in 2024?" Another added, 'This isn't casting. It's conditioning." The outrage mirrors recent backlash seen with age-gap pairings in films like Sikandar (Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna) and Tiku Weds Sheru (Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur).
Despite the criticism, Ranveer has remained silent on the matter. His latest airport appearance seems to suggest he's focused on the work and letting the performance do the talking.
Sara Arjun, best known for her breakout as a child artist in Deiva Thirumagal, has had a strong acting career from a young age, recently playing young Nandini in Ponniyin Selvan. But her casting opposite Ranveer has reignited an old Bollywood debate.

Nothing, Just Shanaya Kapoor Enjoying Her ‘Dream Come True' Moment
Shanaya Kapoor shared a picture of a billboard of her film Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan on the busy streets of Mumbai. Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor, is gearing up for her Bollywood debut soon with the upcoming romantic drama, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. Helmed by Santosh Singh, the film also features Vikrant Massey in the lead role and will be hitting the big screens on July 11. As the promotions of the film are going on in full-swing, the debutante recently had her dream-come-true moment. Taking to Instagram, Shanaya Kapoor shared a picture of a billboard of her film Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan on the busy streets of Mumbai. Feeling proud of this significant achievement of having her film's hoarding around the city, she wrote in the caption, 'Dreams do come true." The post was attached to the romantic song, Alvida from her debut film. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is based on Ruskin Bond's short story titled The Eyes Have It. In the film, Shanaya will be seen playing the role of Saba, a visually impaired girl, while Vikrant will portray a blind musician. The trailer offers a glimpse of the chemistry between Shanaya and Vikrant's characters, followed by the heartbreak that unfolds. Speaking about her debut film, the Starkid recently told PTI, 'It's a strange and overpowering feeling to see yourself on YouTube right now. I watch myself and put my music videos on, and I'm constantly seeing how they look and what the crowd is saying, and it's an overwhelming experience." 'It has all come together, and I am happy with how the journey has been. It took time and had ups and downs. I believe it was fate that brought me here today," she added. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan will face a big Bollywood clash with RajKummar Rao and Manushi Chillar's action thriller Maalik and James Gunn's much-awaited Superman. Besides this, Shanaya will also be seen in director Bejoy Nambiar's upcoming survival thriller film, Tu Yaa Main opposite Adarsh Gourav. Backed by Aanand L Rai, the film will be released on Valentine's Day 2026. Shanya Kapoor was earlier supposed to make her Bollywood debut with Karan Johar's Bedhadak.
