Arjun Rampal wishes "sher" Ranveer Singh on birthday, celebrating their "fabulous memories, ice baths, laughs"
Mumbai, July 6
Actor Arjun Rampal has extended a heartwarming birthday post for his 'Dhurandhar' co-star Ranveer Singh, celebrating their bond that extends beyond the big screen.
In an Instagram post, Rampal shared a video carousel with rare BTS glimpses from the sets of 'Dhurandhar' along with candid pictures and memorable scenes.
"Happy Happy birthday Sher e, to more fabulous memories, performances, successes, love, ice baths, laughs, celebrations. Have a fabulous year ahead @ranveersingh big love and a huge hug. #happybirthdayranveersingh," the actor playfully wrote.
In Aditya Dhar's 'Dhurandhar' films, Arjun Rampal featured as Major Iqbal, a fictional Pakistani ISI mastermind linked to the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, whereas Ranveer Singh essayed lead protagonist Jaskirat Singh Rangi, who infiltrates Pakistan's Lyari using the alias Hamza Ali Mazari.
Ranveer also received a heartfelt birthday wish from director Aditya Dhar, who described his experience of working with Singh as both creatively transformative and personally meaningful.
"Some films stay with you forever. Dhurandhar will always be one of those films for me. I've always known you're an extraordinary actor. But this journey made me fall in love with the artist you are and even more with the human being behind the artist," a part of his post read.
Written, directed and produced by Aditya Dhar, and produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar, 'Dhurandhar' is presented by Jio Studios and produced by B62 Studios.
The film was released in India on December 5, 2025, and has since emerged as one of the biggest theatrical successes in Hindi cinema.
The film features a strong cast including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Rakesh Bedi, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun.
The second instalment, 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', was released in March 2026 and further amplified the franchise's global success.

'Dhurandhar' was absolutely brilliant! Politics aside, the performances were top-notch. Ranveer's transformation for the role was insane, and Arjun as Major Iqbal gave me chills. Can't wait for what's next in this franchise. 🎬🔥
Okay, warm wishes aside, can we talk about how 'Dhurandhar' handled the 26/11 subject? As an Indian, I found it respectful and powerful. Arjun Rampal playing the antagonist with such depth was commendable. These two actors truly elevated the film. Happy birthday, Ranveer! 🙌
It's refreshing to see genuine camaraderie in Bollywood. The ice baths thing is quirky but shows how real their bond is. Arjun's post feels so personal. Also, kudos to Ranveer for pulling off such a demanding role. He's really a 'sher' in every sense!
I wish we got more BTS content like this! The camaraderie on set clearly translated to the screen. 'Dhurandhar' became a blockbuster because of this chemistry. But honestly, I feel Ranveer needs to balance such intense roles with lighter ones. Just my two paise. Still, happy birthday to the king! 🎂
The way Aditya Dhar described the journey—"fell in love with the artist and the human being behind the artist"—that hit deep. Ranveer is not just an actor, he's an emotion for so many of us. And Arjun Rampal's respect for him is heartwarming. Looking forward to 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge'!
