After a hat-trick of flops from Ranveer Singh, Yash Raj Films have decided to part ways with the actor. It was Aditya Chopra's movie house that launched Ranveer with his debut movie Band Baaja Baarat, which was a blockbuster. However, post-pandemic, the actor's career has seen a serious downfall. With movies like '83, Jayeshbhai Jordaar and Cirkus proving to be a disaster at the box office, the film production company has decided not to do any films with the actor for time being.

With his last few movies leaving the audience unimpressed, an industry expert made an interesting observation on how the majority of Ranveer Singh's hit movies were the ones where he worked with Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

The source said, 'Aditya Chopra, the YRF head honcho, and his core team are heavily invested in the YRF Spy Universe at the moment. They recently delivered an all-time blockbuster with Shah Rukh Khan-starrerPathaan(2023) and are gearing up for the release of Salman Khan'sTiger 3. They are also planning forthcoming films in this universe. A lot is at stake as each film is going to be heavily budgeted and hence, there can't be room for error. Each film needs utmost concentration, right from pre-production to the last mile release.'

The source further added, 'In such a scenario, a film with Ranveer Singh is the last thing on their mind. Of course, they'll be making non-Spy Universe films too. But of the 6 films that Ranveer has done with YRF, there's only one film that was not a flop. And that'sGunday(2014). This film, too, was a semi-hit.Band Baaja Baaraat, Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl(2011), andBefikre(2016) were average grossers.Kill Dil(2014) andJayeshbhai Jordaar, meanwhile, flopped.'

'It's also important to note that while these 6 films made money due to the sale of OTT and satellite rights, the box office returns were in the red for Yash Raj Films,' the source continued.

As we mentioned earlier, an industry expert pointed out his movie-behavioral pattern. 'Ranveer Singh has delivered hits only with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. All his three films with the director -Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela(2013),BajiraoMastani(2015), andPadmaavat(2018) - were huge hits. Outside of these films, his overall box office track record is hardly impressive. The only two hit films he has delivered wereSimmba(2018) andGully Boy (2019),' said the expert.

For the unversed, YRF Talent Management agency and Ranveer Singh parted ways in November last year. This was during the renewal of their contract when the actor asked the agency to lower its commission percentage from his brand endorsement fees. When denied by the agency, the Padmaavat actor moved out.

The source concluded by saying, 'YRF deciding to take a break from Ranveer Singh is temporary. Ranveer may be considered if YRF finds the right script which justifies his presence, and can be mounted on the right mid-budget to safeguard the overall commercial prospects of the movie.'
