The famous battle royale game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), developed by South Korean gaming giant Krafton, now features Bollywood star Ranveer Singh as a playable character. This is the company's most recent attempt to localize BGMI in India to draw in more players and build a larger foothold in the nation's gaming scene.
In September 2023, Krafton signed Ranveer as a brand ambassador. The game's most recent version features two playable 3D Ranveer Singh avatars: RS Dark Stealth and RS Swaggy Baba. Along with other things, it has emotes that are based on the actor's well-known dancing techniques, like the Swagster Twirl, Tathad, Sway, and Groove emotes, as well as a unique voice pack.

Ranveer Singh Crate: Events, Characters, Emotes and More
As part of Krafton India's mission to create locally relevant content for the Indian gaming community, BGMI provides players with a variety of engaging features inspired by Ranveer Singh's persona. A Play and Win event that lets players win prizes representing the star's persona is one of the improvements, along with the Ranveer Singh Discovery Event and the Ranveer Singh Crate. RS Dark Stealth and RS Swaggy Baba, two playable 3D avatars of the actor, are among the rewards. The partnership also provides emotes that are inspired by the actor's voice pack and his popular dance skills.
Players will be encouraged to perform better by the event, allowing them to collect more points. At specific milestones, players will be able to collect goodies such as room cards, Battle Points, parachutes, permanent rewards with a Ranveer Singh theme, and more. The event is scheduled to take place from November 29 to January 25, 2024. The milestone rewards are as follows:
- 100 points - Swaggy Baba character
- 500 points - Swaggy Teddy
- 1700 points - RS Dark Stealth
- 2200 points - Swagster Groove
- 2500 points - RS Swagster Parachute
The game will also have a "Play pure with Ranveer Singh" play-and-win event where players can complete tasks and earn RS tokens that can be redeemed for in-game products to gain permanent rewards. Playing as Ranveer Singh, Pure Showdown, collaborating in-game, Pure Speed, and daily logins are a few of the challenges. Players will need to buy UC to obtain the crate's permanent items. The quantity of UC needed to receive rewards is not set, so it is advised that players control their UC carefully.
The CEO of Krafton, Sean Hyunil Sohn enthusiastically welcomed Ranveer Singh to be a part of the game:
We are thrilled to welcome Bollywood sensation superstar Ranveer Singh into the BGMI BATTLEGROUNDS and provide players with a truly immersive experience like never before.
