Ranveer Singh has enjoyed a successful career with several box office hits like Padmaavat Simmba and more. At the same time he has faced setbacks with few flop films. The biggest flop of his career came with the 2022 release Cirkus. Directed by Rohit Shetty the period comedy drama marked the first time Ranveer Singh took on a double role in his career. Varun Sharma also portrayed dual role in the film. Cirkus also starred leading actresses Pooja Hegde and Jacqueline Fernandez as well as bunch of comedians including Johnny Lever Sanjay Mishra Siddhartha Jadhav Murali Sharma Vrajesh Hirjee and Tiku Talsania. Made on a massive budget of Rs 150 crore Cirkus turned out to be a major box office failure earning only Rs 38 crore net in India and Rs 60 crore gross worldwide resulting in a staggering Rs 90 crore loss for the makers. Initially the Ranveer Singh-starrer was scheduled to be release on December 31 2021 before being postponed to July 15 2022. However due to multiple post-production delays the film eventually hit the silver screens on December 23 2022. When asked Rohit Shetty about Cirkuss box office failure the actor told Indian Today I have always believed that both my successes and failures are mine. There is no point shying away from it. When a Singham or a Golmaal did well that was also mine so when a Zameen a Dilwale or a Cirkus failed that was also mine. I don’t see a point in blaming anything else. I know what we did. We obviously went wrong somewhere. Set in 1960s Cirkus was the official remake of the 1982 classic Angoor which starred Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Kumar in double roles. Helmed by Gulzar the film was based on William Shakespeares play The Comedy of Errors.
