Ranveer Singh last appeared alongside Alia Bhatt in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, directed by Karan Johar. The audience and critics both gave the movie positive reviews. The movie also did well at the box office. However, Ranveer had three box office failures prior to this, including 83, Cirkus, and Jayeshbhai Jordaar.
Now, in the first episode of Koffee With Karan season 8 with Deepika Padukone, he talked candidly about these difficult times, stating that he had never before faced three consecutive failures.
"I went through a lot, especially after Cirkus," stated Ranveer. "Coming out of the pandemic, we had this beautiful film 83. It was just released at the wrong time. Jayeshbhai Jordaar was again a lovely well-intentioned film, which again ultimately found its audience on streaming. Cirkus I had a limited contribution and limited responsibility. So I can’t really beat myself over it.”
“Having said that, I had not seen three major flops in a row," the actor continued. "So it was new to me. I was not good. But then I came to terms with everything that was happening around me. After everything that has happened, I have come out of it with more gratitude in my heart than ever before.”
