At a time when Bollywood is dominated by films with male lead and such films are scaling new heights of success, actor Ranveer Singh says he is extremely happy to work in a film like ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ which is more than such films. Totally different. According to Ranveer, ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ is completely based on themes related to women’s life and their feelings.
Ranveer, who grew up watching Hollywood greats Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone as well as Hindi cinema’s angry young man Amitabh Bachchan, says he wants to play a variety of roles to balance his film career. Very passionate too. Ranveer said in an exclusive interview, “I am very excited and happy that I have actually acted in a film which is a film on a completely different topic from the popular ones. At present, films with male lead characters dominate, but ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ is totally different from such films and I am very curious to know the audience’s reaction to it.’
Citing examples of films like ‘Pushpa’, ‘KGF: Chapter 2’ and ‘Sooryavanshi’ featuring male lead, Ranveer said that it is a coincidence that ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ is ready for release at a time when there is a need for male characters. Movies showing masculinity are being well-liked. Jayeshbhai Jordaar is a comedy drama film directed by Divyang Thakkar. The film is produced under the banner of Yash Raj Films. Apart from Ranveer, Shalini Pandey, Boman Irani and Ratna Pathak Shah will also be seen in important roles in the film. ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ will hit the theaters this Friday, May 13.
Ranveer Singh said in the exclusive interview, ‘I consider the topic of North vs South in the art field to be redundant and never look at it from this perspective. According to me, there are many such areas in life, where it is natural to have a sense of competition. For example, the spirit of competition is very strong in the field of sports. I reject the debate of North versus South in the field of art.
Ranveer said, “As an artiste, I defend my integrity and integrity with all my might and the field of art falls within the realm of subjectivity, where there should be no spirit of competition. I never compete with my colleague and other artists. I can only commend other artists for their better work. I don’t look at it from a ‘North vs South’ perspective. We all film actors are part of Indian cinema.
