RANVEER SINGH SIGNS WITH HOLLYWOOD TALENT AGENCY WME

Ranveer Singh is looking West. The actor has signed for representation with Hollywood talent agency WME, which will look at "all areas globally," Deadline reported. The development is in alignment with some of Ranveer's international associations: he has partnered with the NBA, appearing in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game for the last two years, and was recently in New York City for his partnership with Tiffany & Co. In 2021, Ranveer's wife Deepika Padukone signed with the agency ICM.

In 2021, WME had also signed Alia Bhatt, who will soon make her Hollywood debut with Gal Gadot-starrer Heart of Stone for Netflix. The agency had also signed The White Tiger star Adarsh Gourav previously. Recently, filmmakers Sanjay Leela Bhansali and SS Rajamouli both signed with Hollywood agencies.

Ranveer made his film debut in 2010 with the acclaimed romantic-drama Band Baaja Baaraat and went on to star in hits such as Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat, Gully Boy and Simmba. However, the actor is currently going through a career lull with three of his films faring poorly at the box office -- cricket drama 83, Yash Raj Film's Jayeshbhai Jordaar and Rohit Shetty's Cirkus.

Ranveer will hope to see a turnaround with his latest, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, in which he reunites with his Gully Boy co-star Alia Bhatt. The comedy drama, directed by Karan Johar, is gearing to release theatrically on July 28. The film also stars veteran actors Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi.
