Ranveer Singh reacts to Shahid Kapoor’s ‘outsider’ comment

Ranveer Singh wonders if the audience will hate him after ‘Padmavati’

Ranveer Singh will soon be seen playing his first role as an antagonist in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’. Him playing the character of Sultan Alauddin Khilji in the historical drama had stirred up numerous rumours that lead to fringe groups going up in arms against the film and its director. While tension surrounding the film reached new heights, it was only recently that the actor came out in support of his director and requested the audience to "trust his vision". Now, in an interview with Grazia magazine, Ranveer spoke candidly about taking on this negative role in the film.

Admitting that he often wonders how the audience will perceive him after seeing him as the Sultan, he said, “I did think about how the audience will perceive me. The Indian audience in all their generosity, when they love a character, the love gets transferred onto the actor that plays the part. So, my thought was - will the reverse happen here? Where, if they hate my character - which is what we are trying to achieve - are they going to transfer the hate onto me? But I wanted to play antagonist once in my career - why not do it with Mr Bhansali?”

Ranveer Singh offends Kareena Kapoor?

Ranveer Singh is known for his wit and pranks but this time around he has offended Bollywood begum, Kareena Kapoor Khan, with his statement. Making a rather tongue-in-cheek comment, the Lootera actor had told a magazine that he would like to see the actress do more substantial roles. Kareena is senior to Ranveer and has apparently taken an offence to his statement, as reported on Pinkvilla.com. Kareena had earlier rejected Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela which turned out to be a blockbuster and Ranveer was probably referring to the same thing in his comment.

However, Ranveer is not a critic and had called himself a kachha actor while praising Rani Mukerji. Know more…

Ranveer Singh and his interesting comments

Ranveer Singh has moved out of his family home in Bandra and bought an apartment in Goregaon so that he can be close to the Film City where Sanjay Leela Bhansali is shooting his period love story, Bajirao Mastani. According to a Mumbai Mirror report, the actor has been filming almost 12 hours a day. He also has to pack in four hours of physiotherapy to strengthen his shoulder after the injury. Ranveer had injured his shoulder when he fell from a horse when shooting in Jaipur. He continued to report for work despite intense pain but even with regular physiotherapy, he could not avoid surgery and was operated upon on April 4. He resumed shooting by the month end but was strictly advised to avoid action sequences. “But he will have to start shooting them now, wearing cumbersome costumes, since Bajirao was a noted general and they are integral to the plot," informed a source close to the actor.“This move will help him stay in character. He has shaved off his hair for the role and consciously stayed in semi-isolation, away from cell phones, before the film went on the floors. Now he needs all the spare time that he can manage to heal and concentrate on the part. It's a practical decision," said the source. Ranveer has confirmed the news. He has been quoted as saying, “Yes, I have bought a place which is just minutes away from the Bajirao Mastani set so that I can maximise productivity."

Ranveer Singh and his interesting comments

Ranveer Singh underwent a surgery on April 4, 2015 to fix his shoulder which he'd injured after he fell off a horse while filming Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period love story, Bajirao Mastani, in Jaipur. He was advised three weeks complete rest, followed by physiotherapy, after which he could get back to work depending on how well his shoulder healed. But the 29-year-old was warned against taking part in strenuous action. The actor who's still undergoing physiotherapy, returned to the Bajirao Mastani set on Wednesday (May 20, 2015) to shoot an intense scene, reports Mumbai Mirror.

The actor who jumped straight out of the hospital bed and landed straight on the sets, admitted that he'd been extremely anxious about being back on the sets, the report stated. "I was extremely nervous when I drove down to the shoot. I had not faced the camera in two-and-a-half months and I was having a near meltdown," Ranveer confided to Mirror. "As I always do in times like these, I called up my father." Jagjit Singh Bhavnani, who is a friend and confidante of his actor son, gave him a long pep talk. "My father was very reassuring and told me that it was just like swimming," the report quoted the actor. His dad drew a parallel between acting and swimming and pointed out to Ranveer that a child is nervous till he hits the water after which he's absolutely fine. "He assured me I'd be just fine. I heard him out, reached the set, put on my costume and I immediately felt like the great Maratha warrior Peshwa Bajirao. After that I went out there and nailed it," said Ranveer, adding with a cheeky smile, "Mr Bhansali liked my shot."
