Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Ranveer Singh has spoken about the challenges he faced before and during the making of his film Dhurandhar, thanking the Ambani family for supporting the project. In an interview for a Reliance documentary, the actor said that both he and director Aditya Dhar were going through a difficult period when they took up the film, and that executing it was a demanding task. Telugu360.com reports that Singh described the backing from Jio Studios and the Ambani family as a blessing, noting that they stood by the project when some of his previous films had not performed well. IndiaTVnews.com adds that Singh appeared in a Reliance documentary on the channel Reliance Updates, where he called his association with the Ambani family a stroke of good fortune. Singh acknowledged that a film career has ups and downs, saying in Hindi, "Career hai, upar-neeche chalta hai." Dhurandhar was mounted on a large scale and required considerable commitment from the team. The actor said he accepted the nature of the industry and that Dhurandhar became an important project after a period of underperformance.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both sources report the same basic facts: Singh thanked the Ambani family and spoke about the challenges of Dhurandhar. Telugu360.com frames the story as the actor's first detailed admission of the risks involved in the film, while IndiaTVnews.com presents it as a candid conversation in a Reliance documentary. Neither source is critical of the Ambani family or Jio Studios, the coverage is uniformly positive about their backing. The measured takeaway is that Singh is publicly acknowledging a career low point and attributing his recovery to corporate support, a narrative that burnishes both his resilience and the patron's role.
