Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh marked his 40th birthday on July 6, 2025, with a spectacular self-gift: a Hummer EV 3X, a high-end electric SUV valued at approximately ₹4.57 crore. The actor, known for his flamboyant style and love for luxury cars, added this eco-friendly powerhouse to his collection, coinciding with the unveiling of his intense new look for the upcoming film Dhurandhar. The delivery of the vehicle to his Mumbai residence, shared by Ranveer and his wife Deepika Padukone, went viral, sparking excitement among fans.
A Grand Birthday Celebration
Ranveer’s milestone birthday was a blend of personal extravagance and professional milestones. The Hummer EV 3X, with an ex-showroom price of ₹3.85 crore and an on-road cost bumped to ₹4.57 crore due to taxes and customizations, is his first electric vehicle. Its rugged design, boasting a 1,000-horsepower tri-motor setup, 830-mile range, and advanced off-road capabilities, aligns perfectly with Ranveer’s larger-than-life persona. A viral video captured the sleek black SUV arriving at his home, with fans on X praising the actor’s bold choice, one calling it the “ultimate birthday flex.”
The birthday buzz wasn’t limited to the car. Ranveer sparked intrigue days earlier by wiping his Instagram feed clean, leaving only a cryptic story with “12:12” and crossed-sword emojis. Fans speculated this was a promotional stunt, and their theories proved correct when the first look of Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, dropped at 12:12 PM on July 6. The teaser, showcasing Ranveer in a brooding, grey-shaded anti-hero role alongside Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, sent social media into a frenzy.
A Star-Studded Support System
The birthday celebrations were amplified by heartfelt tributes from Bollywood peers. Director Karan Johar penned a poetic Instagram post, calling Ranveer the “lord of bling” and praising his devotion to Deepika Padukone, though some fans dubbed it “cringe” and “ChatGPT-like.” Zoya Akhtar shared a nostalgic throwback photo, while Tiger Shroff posted a Singham Again set picture, wishing Ranveer to “keep smashing it.” These gestures underscored Ranveer’s influence in the industry, with fans flooding X with birthday wishes and excitement for his upcoming projects.
Looking Ahead: Dhurandhar and Beyond
Ranveer’s birthday wasn’t just about luxury; it marked a pivotal moment in his career. Dhurandhar, set for release on December 5, 2025, promises a gritty, action-packed performance, with Ranveer’s rugged look generating buzz. The film, part of a stellar lineup including Don 3 and a potential role in Maddock Films’ supernatural universe, signals a new chapter for the versatile actor, who has previously captivated audiences as Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat and Kapil Dev in 83.
As Ranveer and Deepika, parents to their daughter Dua born in September 2024, continue to dominate Bollywood, the Hummer EV 3X symbolizes both personal indulgence and a nod to sustainability. With fans on X hailing him as a “trendsetter” and “electric king,” Ranveer’s 40th year is off to a roaring start, blending cinematic intensity with off-screen extravagance.
