prep for ‘Befikre’, Parisian style
Ranveer Singh has returned to the hustle and bustle of Mumbai after
an exciting period of preparation for his forthcoming frothy, romance

the film, Ranveer is quite certain this turnaround from his Bajirao
warrior self will make impact. Making the most of this work trip to

movies.

for ‘Befikre’ in Paris! It was a fresh experience, collaborating with
some of brightest and best technicians in international cinema. We
worked intensively on the look of the character. I found some time
to chill as well. Saw the sights, watched some really great live performances,
and enjoyed the gastronomical delights that Paris has to offer.
I also caught up on movies. I watched the uncensored versions of
‘deadpool’ and ‘the revenent’ and I loved both the films and the performances
in them! I’d love to do something similar in hindi films!”
Always brimming with energy and enthusiasm, this versatile star
has been preparing for the Aditya Chopra directorial venture with
gusto;working on every bit of the character. Before he begins shooting,
he will be continuously working on his multiple ad shoots. Post
