Ranveer Singh talks about his onscreen pairing with Padukone and why he feels she should go international now
This week Ranveer Singh returns to the theatres with Kill Dil, in which he is paired with Parineeti Chopra. Although they have worked together in Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, it was a small role. Will this become a hit pair like Ranveer-Anushka at one time and Ranveer-Deepika of-late? Incidentally he has been romantically linked with both these actresses.
Says Ranveer, "I think when I was doing back-to-back films with Anushka, people had loved that pairing. I keep a close eye on what the audience thinks. I like to get as much feedback, so I knew that Anushka and I were seen as a special pairing. Parineeti and my pairing is one that people are looking forward to, but yes Deepika and me are a special pairing. I think it had a lot to do with the way Mr Bhansali directed us, and also Deepika and my energies are different, our approach to acting is different, so the stage is set for there to be amazing chemistry."
He continues, "Ram Leela was that intense classic love story. For me it's amazing because I feel she's one of the finest female actors we have. I started observing and noticing the leaps she started making as a performer right from Love Aaj Kal and Lafangey Parindey which people didn't notice but she was amazing in. She was awesome in Break Ke Baad as well. It's just that Cocktail became a huge hit so people started noticing her acting chops from there on."
He is all praise for the kind of films she does, "If you see the films she's done, she's outstanding...Like Finding Fanny, I think she should go international now and work with likes of Woody Allen and people who justify what she brings to the table. For me what works is the fact that I have such a strong co-actor and she always makes me look good. My performance will always be better because of her and am really excited to work with her in Bajirao Mastani because there is so much for us to do, such a wide array of emotions that there are to play, they are chronicling the lives of these characters at such crucial junctures that it's going be a crazy experience."
