Bollywood’s ultimate livewire, Ranveer Singh, is officially celebrating his 40th birthday today, July 6, 2026. Social media has been flooded with love from fans and industry peers alike, but one of the standout tributes came from his Dhurandhar co-star, Arjun Rampal.
Rampal took to Instagram to share a customized video montage packed with rare fan art and exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpses from the sets of their massive Aditya Dhar-directed spy-action franchise.
A “Sher-e” Tribute
The nostalgia-inducing video was set to the hit track ‘Main Aur Tu’ from the franchise’s discography. Pairing the video with an affectionate note, Arjun wrote:
“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.”
The post quickly became a hotspot for fans celebrating the duo’s off-screen camaraderie. Arjun’s fiancée, Gabriella Demetriades, also joined the celebration, leaving her own warm wishes for Ranveer in the comments. The well-timed tribute comes just two weeks after Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Raw & Undekha) made its blockbuster streaming debut on Netflix.
Arjun Rampal’s Packed 2026 Slate
While celebrating his co-star, Rampal himself is having an incredibly busy year with diverse roles across streaming and cinema:
The Dhurandhar Duology: Rampal won critical acclaim playing Major Iqbal (a character loosely inspired by militant Ilyas Kashmiri), serving as the secondary antagonist in the first film before escalating into the primary villain for Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
‘Satluj’ on ZEE5: Shifting gears from high-octane action to gritty realism, Rampal’s latest crime drama Satluj premiered on July 3, 2026. Directed by Honey Trehan and co-starring Diljit Dosanjh, the emotionally charged film is inspired by the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra.
Upcoming Project (Billionaire): Rumors are rife that Rampal is next gearing up to play an ultra-luxurious, flamboyant tycoon inspired by fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya in an upcoming premium web series titled Billionaire.
