TIL Desk Bollywood/ After delivering his career-best performance as the notorious Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat, Ranveer Singh will be seen as a police officer in Simmba, street rapper in Gully Boy and as cricket star Kapil Dev in ’83. Experimenting with roles is nothing new to Ranveer.
From the desi entertainer in Band Baaja Baaraat to the introvert and brooding man in Lootera and the raw and flamboyant character in Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela — versatility has been the mainstay in his Bollywood portfolio.
“I am attracted to those performers the most who have that chameleon-like quality and have that ability to transform into each character. Like the Hollywood actors Daniel Day-Lewis and Johnny Depp… These are some of my biggest heroes,” Ranveer told.
“They pick an eclectic mix of characters, they keep switching things up from film to film which I have aspired to do in my own filmography. It is very exciting for me to switch things up. “It keeps you stimulated, challenged and it is my constant endeavour and I aspire to be recognised as a versatile performer.”
