Acting might be his first love but this boisterous Bandra boy is on an unbridled creative mission that has only just begun
RANVEER SINGH’S LIST OF creative goals might just throw you off for a second. “I want to write film scripts, I want to try my hand at composing music, I want to be a music director and I want to direct a film. I am not a good singer, but I can rap. I want to mentor promising creative talent and I want to be a channel, a conduit and facilitator of creation. I have always wanted to start a scriptwriters’ consortium… I wish to even have a record label. I want to be a multi-faceted creative entity.” Knowing Singh and his proclivity for accomplishing all things unimaginable (Google ‘Ranveer wacky style’ at your own risk) it’s almost certain he will be ticking those ambitions off his bucket list sooner than you can expect.
We are at the launch of the Adidas Original store on Mumbai’s Linking Road—technically Singh’s hood; he lives a stone’s throw from here—and there’s the usual chaos. An army of camerapersons is packed in like sardines waiting for the actor to arrive, a small squad of female journalists are trying to mask their excitement behind nonchalant banter and another mini brigade of bloggers/ influencers are doing their thing against branded backdrops and product placements. But unlike other ‘celebrity events,’ there’s a sense of caprice hanging in the air, the kind you sense, say, before a magic show. You don’t know what trick our man has up his sleeve today, what rabbit he’s going to pull out of the hat.
