SCENE 1

AFTERNOON. NOVOTEL MUMBAI,

JUHU BEACH

Ranveer Singh doesn’t walk into a room, he makes an entry. Preferably with a portable speaker in hand. It’s a signature of sorts. On his first meeting with Maneesh Sharma, who would direct him in his debut Band Baaja Baaraat (2010), Ranveer came in dancing to ‘My Name is Lakhan’. He was lugging it again, at 1 am, before sitting down for a roundtable with Rajkummar Rao, Ayushmann Khurrana, Vicky Kaushal and Pankaj Tripathi for a TV show in December. For the shoot with India today, Ranveer announced his arrival with ‘Aankh Marey’, from his latest superhit Simmba It’s his second film to h Rs 200 crore mark, the first being Sanjay Leela Bh li controversial Pad maa at (also 2018) in which h flamboyant Alauddin Khilji stole the show.

2018 was a remarkable year in Hindi cinema. For the first time in almost a decade, none of the three Khans—Aamir, Shah Rukh or Salman—registered the highest earning Hindi film. It was left to Ranveer, with two films collectively earning Rs 500 crore, to emerge as the most bankable actor of the year with back to back hits. The face of 26 brands, one half of the #DeepVeer power couple, he was also the youngest male actor in the top 10 of the 2018 Forbes India Celebrity 100 list, with earnings of Rs 84.7 crore.
