Ranveer Singh recalls Aditya Chopra’s ‘reality check’ about his looks: ‘Tu Hrithik Roshan toh na hai, acting kar lena’

Ranveer took Aditya Chopra’s advice, and since then, his aim has been to look more like his characters in the movies, instead of looking good on the screen. He shared, “I still don’t consider myself to be great looking, but over a period of time I have also evolved as a person. Regardless of gender, a person’s attractiveness comes from many other things beyond looks. Even when it comes to my characters, for me it’s really important to look like the character.”

He shared how he was been briefed by Karan Johar to look phenomenal for a scene in his next film, Rocky Aur Rani ki Prem Kahani. “I am shooting with Karan Johar for Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, and we all know his brand of cinema is well-known for having very attractive people, so his brief to me last week was, ‘you only have to look your best’,” Ranveer said, adding, “So there is that time when you are supposed to look good, but my priority always remains with looking like the character.”

From Band Baja Baaraat to Padmaavat and now, his role in Jayeshbhai Jordaar — Ranveer Singh always tries to come up with diverse characters, and mostly lives up to the audience’s expectations. Besides playing his parts well, he makes sure to physically transform into his characters, from going lean to play a rapper in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy or a beefing up to play to play the titular character in Rohit Shetty’s Simmba.

Ranveer Singh’s next film Jayeshbhai Jordaar is all set for a theatrical release on May 13.
