Ranveer Singh Went All In on Dhurandhar
Before Dhurandhar released, Ranveer Singh was at a crossroads. A string of professional setbacks had dimmed the shine on one of Bollywood’s most electric careers. Then came Dhurandhar — directed by Aditya Dhar of Uri fame — and Ranveer didn’t just sign the film, he staked everything on it.
His 83 co-star and close friend Ammy Virk recently revealed just how deep that commitment ran. In a candid conversation with Connect Cine, Virk recalled the emotional message Ranveer sent him right after the Dhurandhar trailer dropped — just days after Dua was born.
“He told me, ‘I have invested everything in this film.’” Virk said. “I told him to wait and see, and said that his daughter had brought him good luck and God was going to be kind.”
God, it turned out, was very kind indeed.
Dua: The Fortune Baby Bollywood Is Talking About
Dhurandhar didn’t just succeed — it shattered box office records and made Ranveer the face of India’s most exciting new action franchise. The sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, followed suit, performing equally well.
Ammy Virk, watching it all unfold, couldn’t resist reminding his friend of the timing: “See, your daughter brought such good luck. Kids come with their own fortune.”
It’s the kind of full-circle moment that feels almost cinematic — a man pours his heart into a film, his daughter arrives, and everything turns to gold. For more on the fascinating world of Bollywood’s biggest stars, check out our Bollywood coverage on TechnoSports.
The phenomenon of a child changing a parent’s fortune is of course deeply rooted in Indian culture — you can read more about this belief and its origins on Wikipedia’s page on Indian cultural traditions.
