Ranveer Singh’s 40th birthday is just around the corner, but the actor surprised fans in an unexpected way. On July 5, he wiped his entire Instagram feed, leaving his profile completely blank except for a cryptic story. The story featured two crossed swords and the time “12:12," making the internet buzz with speculation.
Fans weren’t sure what to make of it. While some worried about his well-being, others guessed it was a smart marketing move for his next film, Dhurandhar. Comments on Reddit reflected mixed reactions. One user said, “Hope everything is fine.”
Another guessed, “It's just a promotional thing for his new movie. His new movie teaser will be released tomorrow at 12:12.”
Fans Call Out Boring Social Media Gimmick By Ranveer Singh
Not everyone was impressed. Some users criticised the social media stunt, calling it repetitive. One person said, “Agreed, many have done this before, it’s getting boring now. But let’s see if all these gimmicks actually work… We’ll find out tomorrow.”
Others pointed out that the backlash sometimes stems from Ranveer’s off-screen behaviour by saying, “I think hatred is just because of off-screen antics.”

According to Bollywood Hungama, Dhurandhar’s teaser is scheduled to release today, July 6, making Ranveer’s birthday a special one for his fans. A source told the outlet, “Ranveer knows something special is coming, a true cinematic treat, but he hasn’t seen the final cut. It’s entirely Aditya’s ingenious way of making this birthday not just memorable, but truly iconic for his superstar.”
What Is Dhurandhar All About?
Directed by Uri filmmaker Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar is a gritty action-drama set in a politically charged era of India. The story is said to unfold during the golden years of the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), the country’s foreign intelligence agency.
The film features a powerhouse ensemble cast. Alongside Ranveer, the film stars Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna and Arjun Rampal in pivotal roles. With such a strong line-up, the stakes are high both on and off screen.
Reports also suggest that the makers will reveal the film’s release date today. If confirmed, Dhurandhar will hit cinemas on December 5. This sets up a massive box office clash against Prabhas’ horror comedy The Raja Saab and Shahid Kapoor’s action drama Arjun Ustara.
The teaser drop today will give fans their first proper look at Dhurandhar. Until then, Ranveer’s blank Instagram and cryptic posts have definitely got people talking, whether they love the strategy or hate it.
