Ranveer Singh named BMW India’s new brand ambassador
The actor unveiled the new 7 Series range in New Delhi, adding another luxury marque to a garage already stacked with Bollywood’s biggest car deals
MUMBAI: Bollywood’s love affair with the automobile industry shows no signs of cooling, and Ranveer Singh has just added another marquee name to his growing list of endorsements. BMW India has named the actor its new brand ambassador, and he marked the occasion in style, unveiling the company’s new 7 Series range at a high-profile event in New Delhi on September 11.
The event itself was built around spectacle. Ranveer’s presence turned what was already a showcase of BMW’s flagship sedan into something closer to a full-blown celebration of luxury, performance and innovation, with his larger-than-life persona playing off the commanding presence of the car itself. The new 7 Series will be offered in India with both fuel-powered and fully electric variants, giving BMW a foot in both camps as the luxury segment slowly tilts toward electrification. Bookings are already open across BMW India’s dealership network, with deliveries set to begin in October 2026.
This is far from Ranveer’s first rodeo in the automotive world. In February 2025, he was appointed the first brand superstar of Skoda Auto India, and he has been the face of Maruti Suzuki’s NEXA network since 2014, a run that now stretches over a decade. Add to that his well-documented personal fleet, which includes a Ferrari 296 GTB, a GMC Hummer EV 3X, a Range Rover Autobiography and a Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600, and it is fair to say few Bollywood stars straddle the automotive endorsement space as comprehensively as he does.
On the work front, Ranveer is riding the momentum of Dhurandhar and has already begun filming his next project, Pralay, a survival drama directed by Jai Mehta set in a near-future Mumbai ravaged by a pandemic and a subsequent outbreak, co-starring Kalyani Priyadarshan. No release date has been announced yet, but production is underway. On the personal side, he and Deepika Padukone are expecting their second child, having recently marked daughter Dua’s second birthday with a fresh set of family photographs.
For BMW, landing an ambassador with this much cross-brand cachet and this much media pull heading into the festive season looks like a shrewd bit of timing.
