Ranveer Singh on 83 box office failure: It was a case of unfortunate timing

Ranveer Singh is one of the versatile actors in Bollywood. He was last seen in Kabir Khan’s directorial 83. The actor essayed the role of cricket legend Kapil Dev in the same. He won hearts with his terrific acting. However, the film failed to do well at the box office. Now, Ranveer Singh has opened up about 83’s box office failure. The actor called it is a matter of bad timing and added that he is happy with the love it got from the audience.

Speaking with India Today, Ranveer Singh said, “83 was criticized by the trade for not having as much money as it was projected to make. I would like to establish that it still made around Rs 200 crore in the middle of the third wave which is not bad at all. That many people went to watch it inspite of the third wave spreading like wildfire across the world. It was just a case of unfortunate timing.”
