Ranveer Singh: I can play a bloodthirsty villain, a cop and the voice of streets to entertain people

Bollywood star Ranveer Singh is currently riding high on the success of ‘Simmba’ and the newly-released trailer of his upcoming film ‘Gully Boy’. He is one of the best actors in the film industry and there is no doubt in it. He leaves no stone unturned to make all the shots perfect. His two releases last year were ‘Padmaavat’ and ‘Simmba’.

While ‘Padmaavat’ was released in January last year, ‘Simmba’ was released in December. In ‘Padmaavat’, Ranveer played the negative role of Alauddin Khilji and bowled the audience and critics’ with his high voltage performance. In ‘Simmba’, Ranveer played a quirky and intense cop Sangram Bhalerao. Both the movies stood high at the box office and proved to be blockbuster hits. ‘Simmba’ is still running successfully and made a collection of Rs 350 crores worldwide.

The actor is now all set for his first release of 2019 – ‘Gully Boy’. The trailer, songs and pictures have collectively made it a must watch already. In an interview with DNA, the ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ actor talked about taking challenges and risks.

The actor said, “He is always hungry for good cinema and diverse content. I have realised over time that I like to go through a metamorphosis and become someone else on screen. I can’t play safe and I won’t play safe. It just doesn’t excite me as an artiste, so my content choices seem diverse. I can play a bloodthirsty villain, a cop, to channelising the voice of the streets in ‘Gully Boy’. I want to challenge myself, take bigger risks and entertain people who want to pay money to come to theatres to watch a good performance.”

It is to be noted that ‘Gully Boy’ is all set to release on February 14, 2019. The film also stars Alia Bhatt and Kalki Koechlin. Directed by Zoya Akhtar, the film is based on the life and struggles of rapper Divine – its name is inspired by his breakout song, ‘Mere Gully Mein’ – and his troupe of street rappers, who go by the name of ‘Gully Gang’.
