Exclusive! Ranveer Singh On His Brand New Innings

Ranveer Singh is creating momentous memories both professionally and personally. Anuradha Choudhary has an intense conversation with the superstar

Just a few years back, he was learning to hit the mark. He came out of nowhere and singed the big screen with his searing performance in Band Baaaja Baaraat. Those who thought he was just a flash in the pan had a think coming. It’s been eight years since and the moth has turned into a butterfly. He has slalomed his way to the top. Ranveer Singh. The name spells success today. And talent too.

Frankly, it’s a great time to be Ranveer Singh right now. The last few years have seen him emerge as a dynamic performer. If he was subdued in Lootera, he was randy in Goliyon Ki Raasleela - Ram-Leela. If he was a rich brat in Dil Dhadkane Do, he could mound himself as a Maratha in Bajirao Mastani. Earlier this year, he tore into yet another landmark performance as Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat. The coming months will see him play varied roles in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy, Rohit Shetty’s Simmba, Kabir Khan’s ’83 and Karan Johar’s Takht. Versatility has always been his main stay. He serves his Molotov cocktail of emotions each time. Looks like he has durability. Needless to say, he’s on every filmmaker’s wish list right now. His bursting-at-the-seams wit makes us believe that he’s a happy-go-lucky regular bloke. But pull back a few yards and you see the bigger picture. A man hard at work to hone his talent. His hunger for good roles is insatiable. No wonder he’s regarded as a complete package today. His talent translates into huge revenues for filmmakers. Which makes him Bollywood’s star du jour.
