Overview
- Prithviraj Sukumaran told Galatta Plus on July 3, 2026 that Ranveer Singh’s turn as Rocky Randhawa in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani remains one of his finest performances.
- He explicitly acknowledged Ranveer’s praised work in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar but said the Rocky role impressed him more because it was harder to pull off.
- The Rocky character is widely discussed for its mix of loud, traditional masculinity and a slow arc toward self-awareness, which critics and peers have said demanded nuance from Ranveer.
- Coverage notes Dhurandhar’s strong audience response and box-office momentum, and places Prithviraj’s remark alongside both actors’ busy slates, including Prithviraj’s I, Nobody and SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi set for April 2027.
- Industry observers say peer endorsements like this can shape awards talk and public perception, so Ranveer’s demonstrated range and upcoming releases are likely to be watched more closely by critics and studios.
