Ranveer Singh parted ways from Aditya Chopra's production house in 2022.

Years before Ahaan Panday made his debut with Saiyaara, it was the era of Ranveer Singh who impressed everyone with his debut in the 2010 film Band Baaja Baarat, produced by Yash Raj Films. In the years since then, Ranveer did many films with the production house. However, he parted ways with their talent agency in 2022 after the failure of Jayeshbhai Jordaar. In a new interview, YRF casting director Shanoo Sharma spoke about Ranveer’s exit from the production house and said that there must be a reason behind why the actor chose to leave and why the production house was comfortable letting him go.

Shanoo did not give out many details about Ranveer’s exit but mentioned that there was “no bad blood” between Ranveer and YRF as such. In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter India, Shanoo was asked if Ranveer’s departure from the company hurt her, and she said, “I don’t think it hurt. It didn’t hurt, not at all.” She then continued, “He is going ahead with his life. I wish him all the best. There’s a reason why he must be going. There’s a reason why the production house is okay with him going.”

She then added, “I feel things work, and then they fade, and then they start to work again so it’s just that. I don’t think there is any bad blood as such but he needed to move and for me, he is my best friend as well so there’s nothing difficult on that front.”

At the time of Ranveer’s exit, a source told SCREEN, “YRF will always be home for Ranveer Singh. Aditya Chopra picked him as a newcomer. He has since become one of the biggest superstars of our country.” They added that the two share a “solid” relationship and will continue to collaborate in future. However, snce then, Ranveer has not signed any new film with them.

Ranveer made his debut with YRF and later worked with them in films like Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, Gunday, Kill Dil, Befikre and Jayeshbhai Jordaar. Since leaving YRF, he has appeared in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. He is set to appear in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar in December. He was also announced as the lead star of Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3 but the filming of the project is yet to begin.
