Interview with Ranveer Singh | Padmaavat | Anupama Chopra

A day after the release of Padmaavat, actor Ranveer Singh talks about how how he got into the headspace of playing an evil character like Alauddin Khilji. It took three weeks of alone time, a diet of red meat and lifting weights to make him play the character convincingly. He also speaks about why this was the most fun he's had filming with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and constructively channeling the rage he felt when the film ran into trouble.

It was so cute Ranveer took out extra time for Anupama without thinking twice. The fact a Celebrity enjoys their interview is testament to Anupama's interviewing skills, amazing!

[rinkysen]

A man who is not embarrassed to say that he is a sensitive man and that he cried after watching the film, is a man worth praising. Apart from being a supremely talented actor, Ranveer is clearly a wonderful human being. Deepika has found her match ❤

[eshan]

Ranveer is such a talented actor. He really killed it as Alahuddin Khilji in Padmaavat.

[sudhangshudas]

This guy is like Shahrukh Khan. Charming, extremely funny, yet so well spoken. You just cannot hate him.
Such a nice personality.

Suddenly I respect Ranveer as a human and an artist. HE has grown over the years! Way to go man!!

[sakshammansukhani]

I feel so motivated by him.The amount of effort that he gives for a role is phenomenal.Truly the real youth icon and undoubtedly the best actor in the new generation of actors.

Give him a national award already... I know rajkumar rao was brilliant in Newton& trapped.. But ranveer in padmaavat is exceptional.. U could literally see how hard he has worked in every single frame of the movie

[anshukumar]

I think he is the best actor in Bollywood these days. Excellent performances in Bajirao Mastani and now Padmaavat.

[amritas]

He is so grounded..that's what makes him successful.
"Process is the prize"..totally agree with him there.. 🤗💚

Such a great interview. You can see the intelligence this man possesses and Anupama is such a epitome of grace love the way this lady treats her guests and her way of interviewing. Hats off to both !!

[anirudhdalvi]

Please get Jim Sarbh. He was terrific. He hardly has any interviews. The last we saw him was at Rajeevs newcomers roundtable back in 2016. He's a delight to listen to. So raw. Should've called him here with Ranveer. He speaks his heart.

Ranveer Singh is amazing! I believe every character he plays. Also, the way he talks about acting; the passion, feels very similar to Shahrukh Khan's. I love this man!
