Ranveer
Singh,
who
has
been
one
of
the
most
promising
actors
in
the
industry,
has
been
all
over
the
news
for
his
recent
release
Cirkus.
Helmed
by
Rohit
Shetty,
Ranveer
was
seen
in
a
double
role
for
the
first
time
along
with
Pooja
Hegde,
Jacqueline
Fernandez
and
Varun
Sharma
in
the
lead.
Though
Cirkus
has
been
among
the
most
anticipated
movies
of
the
year,
it
has
opened
to
an
average
review
from
the
audience
and
critics.
In
fact,
as
per
a
recent
report
published
in
Box
Office
India,
Cirkus
has
witnessed
a
dull
start
at
the
box
office
and
quite
low
footfalls
in
the
theatres.
The
report
suggested
that
Cirkus
witnessed
an
opening
of
around
10-15%
occupancy
during
the
morning
and
early
afternoon
shows
as
the
movie
failed
to
create
a
buzz
among
the
audience.
In
fact,
the
Rohit
Shetty
directorial
also
witnessed
a
low
rate
of
advance
booking
as
well.
Although
holiday
releases
were
often
the
most
sought
after
films
usually,
the
trend
has
changed
post
pandemic
as
the
holiday
releases
fail
to
leave
a
mark
at
the
box
office
unless
something
spectacular
happens
during
the
weekend.
The
report
published
in
Box
Office
India
also
claimed
that
Cirkus
is
might
have
a
similar
fate
as
Akshay
Kumar's
2022
release
Raksha
Bandhan
as
the
Ranveer
starrer
is
also
struggling
to
earn
the
double
digit
numbers
on
the
first
day.
While
Raksha
Bandhan
witnessed
a
push
during
the
weekend,
it
will
be
interesting
to
see
if
Cirkus
can
do
any
wonders
during
the
festive
weekend
and
turn
the
game
around.
Meanwhile,
Ranveer,
who
has
collaborated
with
Rohit
Shetty
for
the
second
time,
has
been
all
praises
for
the
filmmaker.
Talking
about
it,
the
superstar
stated,
"I'm
very
grateful
to
Rohit
Shetty
for
giving
me
these
opportunities.
Out-and-out
comedy
for
the
first
time-
something
I
have
wanted
to
do
for
so
many
years,
and
I
have
been
very
vocal
about
it
for
at
least
4
or
5
years
before
I
got
the
opportunity.
I
just
want
to
do
a
balls-out
comedy-
slapstick,
situational,
insult,
humour,
all
rolled
into
one.
So
it
was
a
dream
come
true
for
me.
First
time
in
and
as
larger-than-life
action
hero
cop
character
and
now
first-time
comedy
and
hopefully
the
first
of
many".
