Ranveer Singh: “Simmba’ has a lot of all genres…”

Ranveer Singh is to be seen next in ‘Simmba’, a Rohit Shetty directorial. The actor recently spoke about why he took on the role.

“Simmba is the type of film I loved as a kid. The masala film is something that attracted me to become an actor in the first place. Getting a chance to work with Rohit Shetty who is the king of masala movies is a huge deal for me. I find it very challenging. You have to perform so many things – there is comedy, action, drama – everything together… This movie has a lot of all genres. The adrenaline is what I live for and hence shooting for this was a blast,” said Singh, in an interview with PTI.

The actor also spoke about how he feels about the comedy genre, “It’s always been a conscious choice for me to be a versatile actor. Growing up, I used to always admire actors who had that chameleon quality and who could transform themselves into anyone and any kind of genre. Those are the type of actors I aspire to be and hence I always ensure all roles that I choose are starkly different from each other”.

Singh was last seen on screen in ‘Padmaavat’ earlier this year.
