Ranveer Singh To Collaborate Once Again With Yash Raj Films
Ranveer Singh, who was last seen in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy – a film based on the life of a rapper, is currently busy prepping up for ’83 directed by Kabir Khan. The actor is now all set to collaborate once again with Yash Raj Films which will be written by debutant writer-director Divyang Thakkar.
The first-timer will be directing Ranveer Singh in what is a humorous entertainer set in Gujarat. The film is being produced by Maneesh Sharma, who also discovered Divyang Thakkar. It will go on floors this October.
Ranveer said:
“I have been immensely fortunate to have collaborated with some of the finest film-makers of our country. It is humbling and gratifying that they believed in my craft and chose me to lead their cinematic vision. All that I have achieved as an actor today is due to these titanic cinematic forces having put their faith in me. I’m glad that today I find myself in a position where I can recognize exceptional talent and wholeheartedly back the vision of a brilliant new writer-director like Divyang. Jayeshbhai Jordaar will be my next release after ’83.”
He added:
“Jayeshbhai is a film with a big heart. In its concept as well as in its appeal, it encompasses the broadest spectrum of the cinema-loving audience- it’s a film for everyone! It is, in fact, a ‘miracle script’ that YRF found for me out of nowhere. The sheer brilliance of the writing compelled me to immediately green-light this film. Both humourous and poignant, Jayeshbhai is right up there with the most solid on-paper material I’ve ever come across.”
Maneesh said:
“For a producer and a filmmaker, the holy grail is a script that is a balance of a relevant message delivered in an entertaining manner. Divyang’s script is a great example of this balance and we are all very excited to have him helm it. What makes this a truly thrilling venture is that I see this as Ranveer and I ‘paying it forward’. Almost a decade ago, we started our journey together when YRF placed their faith in us newcomers and today we collaborate with another new talent to offer the audiences a content-driven mass entertainer.”
