In a recent conversation that has stirred quite a buzz in the film industry, acclaimed director Rohit Shetty showered praises on the versatile and dynamic actor Ranveer Singh. The celebrated filmmaker, known for his larger-than-life cinematic creations, did not shy away from expressing his admiration for the actor’s impressive versatility and likened him to a brother in their deep-rooted relationship. Rohit, who is on the brink of unveiling his next magnum opus ‘Singham Again’, candidly shared his thoughts while speaking with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, highlighting Ranveer Singh’s rare ability to effortlessly switch between diverse characters with immense passion and zeal.
Rohit Shetty, the mastermind behind some of Bollywood’s most successful films, spoke about Ranveer Singh with an enthusiasm that mirrored his appreciation for talent and dedication. He revealed, “Ranveer is someone who constantly seeks to spread joy among people. My association with him spans over three films now. Beyond the films, our bond has strengthened into that of a fraternal closeness. He confides in me, shares everything without hesitation, and the trust he places in me is truly significant. What’s remarkable about Ranveer is his unmatched versatility — he can transform from the intense rapper of ‘Gully Boy’ to the suave family man in ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’, and then to the flamboyant cop in ‘Simmba’, showcasing a range that isn’t commonly seen.”
Singh’s boundless energy and dedication to his craft are aspects that Shetty finds particularly commendable, describing Ranveer as someone who brings the same energy and commitment at the start of the day as he does at its close. “To portray a character like Simmba isn’t something everyone can pull off with such authenticity and flair,” Rohit added. “His hard work knows no bounds. Watching him work with the same vigor at 9:00 am and still have enough zeal at 2:00 am is truly inspiring. His focus is unparalleled when he’s on set — a quality that sets him apart.
. He is the next superstar of our industry. He stands on the brink of superstardom now, but when asked who’s the future of Indian cinema, I say it’s Ranveer Singh.”
It’s no surprise that the director-actor duo has delivered massive hits together, including ‘Simmba’, and their collaboration continued with Ranveer’s cameo in ‘Sooryavanshi’ and the recent film ‘Cirkus’. Their shared professional history is testament to the chemistry and understanding they share, resulting in films that resonate with audiences on various levels.
Currently, Rohit Shetty is engrossed in bringing his upcoming project ‘Singham Again’ to fruition. This movie, which recently began filming in September 2023, promises to be a colossal action-packed film, featuring some of the biggest names in the Hindi film fraternity. The film’s formidable ensemble cast includes stalwarts like Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor alongside powerhouse performers such as Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, and Jackie Shroff. As part of Rohit’s expansive Cop Universe, ‘Singham Again’ stands as the fifth installment, following the tremendous success of ‘Singham Returns’. It is set for a box-office showdown against Kartik Aaryan’s much-anticipated ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ during the festive season of Diwali.
Rohit Shetty’s glowing endorsement of Ranveer Singh highlights a mutual respect and recognition of talent in the competitive sphere of Bollywood. The anticipation surrounding both ‘Singham Again’ and Ranveer Singh’s future endeavors continue to build, with fans eagerly awaiting their next creative ventures.
Furthermore, the industry remains on its toes, looking forward to witnessing Ranveer Singh’s continued ascent in the cinematic world, championed by one of its own legendary directors. Such camaraderie only adds to the dynamic fabric of Bollywood, promising more iconic films while setting the stage for emerging superstars like Ranveer Singh, who remain deep-rooted in unwavering talent and dedication.
