Ranveer Singh has become one of the most bankable and sought-after actors of the recent times ever since he debuted onscreen in Band Baaja Baraat. The actor since then has been scaling new heights of stardom with almost every other release of his becoming a bigger hit at the box office. Last year, Ranveer had two releases-Padmaavat and Simmba, both diverse in their genres as well as his role. While Padmaavat was a magnum opus and had Ranveer in an anti-hero character, Simmba saw him put on the garb of a cop and portray a masala hero in Rohit Shetty’s potboiler.
In a recent interview given to a leading daily, the actor spoke about his film choices, the diverse roles he likes to take up and what keeps him motivated to achieve more. During the course of the interview, he was asked about his versatility of choosing to be an anti-hero with Padmaavat and a colourful cop in Simmba, to this Ranveer said, “I’m always hungry for good cinema and diverse content. I have realised over time that I like to go through a metamorphosis and become someone else on the screen. I can’t play safe and I won’t play safe.”

He further added, “It just doesn’t excite me as an artist, so my content choices seem diverse. I can play a bloodthirsty villain, a cop, to channelizing the voice of the streets in Gully Boy. I want to challenge myself, take bigger risks and entertain people who want to pay money to come to theatres to watch a good performance.”
Ranveer will be seen next in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy which is inspired by the lives of Indian rappers Divine and Naezy. The film also stars Alia Bhatt and Kalki Koechlin in the lead and is slated to release on February 14. He will also be seen essaying the role of cricketer Kapil Dev in '83 which is directed by Kabir Khan and is based on India's first World Cup win.
