In Picture: First look of Ranveer Singh in ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’

Yash Raj Films has unveiled the first look of Ranveer Singh in the upcoming comedy ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’.

The script of the film is penned by debutant writer-director Divyang Thakkar.

Singh plays a Gujarati man, complete with a new toned look, shedding the weight he had put on for his previous films.

Talking about his character, Singh previously told Hindustan Times, “As Charlie Chaplin once said, ‘To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!’. Jayeshbhai is an unlikely hero – an ordinary man, who ends up doing something extraordinary when he’s hurled into a threatening situation. Jayeshbhai is sensitive and compassionate. He believes in equal rights between men and women in a society that is deeply rooted in patriarchal ideals, practices and doctrines.”

The film is being produced by YRF’s homegrown producer Maneesh Sharma, who also discovered Divyang.
