Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh set the internet on fire with the release of the first look of his upcoming film Dhurandhar, launched on his 40th birthday, July 6. The promo highlights his intense, action-packed avatar, promising a gripping cinematic experience.
However, what truly caught the audience’s attention wasn’t just the action or star cast—it was his on-screen romance with actress Sara Arjun, who is 20 years younger than him.
Sara Arjun and Ranveer’s Romance Sparks Debate
Sara Arjun, born on June 18, 2005, plays Ranveer’s love interest in Dhurandhar. Their romantic scenes have triggered a heated discussion on social media, with many netizens expressing discomfort over the 20-year age gap between the actors.
Although Sara appears in only a few glimpses in the promo—mostly in romantic scenes with Ranveer—viewers have been quick to notice the significant age difference. Some labeled the pairing as “uncomfortable” while others questioned Bollywood’s repeated trend of casting significantly younger actresses opposite older male stars.
How Old Are Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun?
Ranveer Singh: Born July 6, 1985 – recently turned 40
Sara Arjun: Born June 18, 2005 – currently 20 years old
This makes the age gap exactly 20 years, which has become a focal point of the current discourse.
No Response from Actors Yet
As of now, neither Ranveer Singh nor Sara Arjun has commented on the ongoing controversy. While some fans praised their chemistry, many others criticized the casting choice, suggesting it sends the wrong message about age representation in relationships on-screen.
About the Film ‘Dhurandhar’
Directed by Aditya Dhar, known for Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dhurandhar is reportedly based on true events. The promo begins with a powerful voiceover, followed by high-octane action scenes including gunfire and hand-to-hand combat.

R. Madhavan, who allegedly plays Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, often dubbed as “India’s James Bond.”

While Dhurandhar is generating buzz for its thrilling trailer and ensemble cast, the age gap between Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun continues to overshadow the film’s content in public discourse. Whether t
he filmmakers or actors address this remains to be seen.
