Actor Ranveer Singh, who is currently riding high on the
success of his latest release "Padmaavat", says it takes immense courage to
direct a film of such a magnitude.
Ranveer on Tuesday treated his fans to
a question and answer session, where one user asked him if he would ever write
or direct a historical like "Padmaavat", directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
"It takes a lot of courage to helm a film and even more to helm one of such
magnitude. I reckon it will be quite a few years before I become as brave and
courageous as my maestro," he responded.
"Padmaavat" also features actors
Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, Aditi Rao Hydari and Jim Sarbh.
Asked
about his experience of working with Jim, Ranveer said: "Special talent, great
vibe, great sense of humour and intelligent. Exciting to collaborate with.
Chilled out. Basically the perfect co-actor. Jim Sarbh blessed to have worked
with him."
How challenging was it to come up with such a strong
performance, asked a fan.
"I always relish a challenge," replied Ranveer,
who has been lauded for his powerful performance as Delhi Sultan Alauddin Khilji
in the magnum opus.
On his own performance, Ranveer said: "Im happy with
it. I learned a lot during the shooting process. And growing and developing in
my craft is important to me. So, yes. Im happy that I had this experience."
Ranveer said that his performance as Khilji helped him evolve as an artist.
The actor is now gearing up for his next "Gully Boy", directed by Zoya
Akhtar.
"It's a journey of a youth who hails from a disenfranchised lot
of society. It's a story very dear to my heart. Hope I can do my bit for the
amazing new musical talent that we have in the country," he said.
