Karan Johar and Ranveer Singh on the sets of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
Karan Johar opened up about Ranveer Singh’s personality. The duo worked together on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
Karan Johar weighed in on Ranveer Singh’s personality and said that the actor has two contrasting personalities. The filmmaker, who worked with Ranveer on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, said that while many see his hyperactive, outgoing personality, the actor has a mellow side that he does not show anyone. Karan added that he is surprised that Ranveer does not belong to the Gemini zodiac sign considering, as per the filmmaker, he shares similar traits to those from the sign. For the unversed, Ranveer belongs to the Cancer zodiac.
Speaking with Mid-Day, Karan said, “He is actually very much two people. There is that one person that is silent, quiet, happy with self, introvert. And then there is an extrovert, an exhibitionist, an absolutely like out there individual. So, I am surprised he is not a Gemini because he is really two people.” He added, “(the) second person none of you will ever meet. So, he is not like this. He is not wild all the time. He is conserving to explode. That is what he does with every character. I am sure when he played Padmavat and Bajirao he had a different energy.”
The filmmaker also shed light on Ranveer’s way of working. Sharing his experience of working with him on RRKPK, Karan said, “He likes a certain atmosphere to create on set for anything. He is very particular about things like his eyeline or silence on set like he is very sound sensitive. Even if, like a kilometer away, there is something happening, he won’t be able to perform. That is something you have to make sure that he is comfortable with. When he is there and he is delivering, then you are just awestruck because he has gone from Ranveer Singh to Rocky Randhawa, and then he stayed Rocky Randhawa right through the day. Like right through the day, he will talk to you like Rocky.”
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani marked Ranveer’s first film with Karan Johar. The movie emerged as a hit, earning over Rs 150 crores at the Indian box office. The film recently released on the OTT platform, Prime Video.
