Bajirao Mastani is Ranveer Singh’s best till date, says uncle Anil Kapoor

While many wrote off Dilwale as a casual one-time watch, Ranveer, Deepika and Priyanka have slowly and steadily been receiving continuous acclaim for their acting, as has been Bhasali for the grandeur and scale of the production. I have always stayed away from that. On the surface, he is playful and does all the fooling around but, while acting, he can also reach another level…he can do anything! I think I have the best chemistry with Irrfan Khan! She already has three hits under her belt this year in the name of Piku, Tamasha and recently released Bajirao Mastani. “But I am very happy if they (Bajirao Mastani) do as well as we do”, he said. I’ve been working, full of anxiety and insecurity trying to achieve what I wanted. I find that unbelievable!

Doesn’t success give you security?

Over the years she has proven herself in the limelight of Indian cinema and rose through the ranks to become one of the successful and highly esteemed model turned actresses of Bollywood. She was overwhelmed. Ranveer just kept kissing me. I don’t get into knowing the budget of a film, how much it was made at, how much it should recover.

Are you an indulgent filmmaker in the grandeur of your settings and budgets? “I still stand by that I am a really incredible boyfriend”, Ranveer told. I don’t see the triangle situation happening in my life. So if I am making Devdas, which I am interpreting in a certain way, then I don’t indulge. I have such a deep connect with Mr Bachchan and admiration. Bhansali said he was expecting accolades for the film as he had worked hard on it. “I’m very happy with the response”.
