Band Baaja Baaraat To Gully Boy, 8 Roles Of Ranveer Singh Which Prove He's Here To Stay & Slay!

It’s tough to get a break in Bollywood, and once you bag a film, it’s tougher to maintain the status from there on. A lot of good actors came, proved their mettle but faded away into oblivion soon after. Perhaps, the key is versatility.

“I am happy that I am able to make a mark. I want to continue doing good work. It is about delivering and being consistent and taking steps forward, showing versatility and variety in what you do,” Ranveer Singh, who has made his own way into the industry, had said in an interview.

Ranveer Singh is one of the top-notch actors of the industry and with every role that he has played on the big screen, he has nailed it to perfection. He has given his hundred percent, sometimes even more, to get into the skin of the character, and therefore, it’s a treat to watch him on the silver screen. His hard work shows off and how!

“I genuinely feel he is the most versatile actor in the current lot. I think right from ‘Band Bajaa Baarat’, he could do ‘Lootera’, ‘Ram-Leela’ and ‘Dil Dhadakane Do’. He has played different characters in these films and he is doing it not for the heck of it. He does it convincingly,” his ladylove Deepika had once said.
