The Carefree Side Of Ranveer Singh

He dresses like the Mad Hatter and channelises the energy of the Joker.

Ranveer Singh is crazy, quirky and completely loveable. The off-kilter and zany sense of outrageousness is his USP. And that’s the exact reason why he’s one of the most popular actors in Hindi cinema today. That explains why filmmakers, the advertising book keepers and all the money bags in the world are making a beeline for Ranveer. His equity as an entertainer and a celebrity has skyrocketed like the stock market. The countless kisses with co-star Vaani Kapoor in Aditya Chopra’s Befikre have won both attention and some critique. And then there’s the returning association with his favourite filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the new magnum opus Padmavati. This film has been in the news even before it hit the floors. With Ranveer Singh’s portrayal of Alauddin Khilji making as many heads turn as the film’s casting stories. By choice or by default, Ranveer’s life and career have adopted a pattern of unbridled intensity followed by casual reprieve. Bajirao to Befikre to Padmavati... the actor and his method and madness have found an infinite loop. It’s the mania that makes Ranveer Singh who he is. With him in the vicinity, stillness is an impossibility. He just continues to function in overdrive, charming the pants off anything with two legs. His films, his quirky fashion, his endorsements, his zest for love and life, spur him on to great things. This young superstar just can’t be pegged down. He’s the original electric star. The one who makes the world of movies come alive.

The trailer of Befikre has invited diverse reactions…
