Over the years, acclaimed Indian actor Ranbir Kapoor has delivered a wide range of memorable performances. From his early films like Wake Up Sid, Rocket Singh, and Raajneeti to impactful roles in Rockstar, Tamasha, and Sanju, he has consistently showcased his acting prowess. His most recent theatrical release, Animal, may have sparked debates, but it emerged as a massive box office blockbuster.
Likewise, Ranveer Singh too boasts an impressive filmography, defined by bold choices and versatility, right from his brilliant debut in Band Baaja Baaraat, to standout performances in Lootera, Dil Dhadakne Do, Padmaavat, and ’83.
