He may be consistently taking up big projects—Padmaavat, Simmba, Gully Boy, 83 and Takht—but Ranveer Singh says he doesn’t choose films based on their budget.
“For me, it’s not about the mounting or the budget etc. My focus is really simple. I want to do films that bring people to theatres. Now, we have TV, mobile phones and OTT platforms, so the screen is becoming increasingly smaller and the fear is that people aren’t going to theatres in very big numbers anymore,” he told Hindustan Times in a recent interview.
“I feel you need to make it (going to theatre) worth people’s while, and give them bang for their buck. I want to do films that have a certain amount of big screen spectacle value attached to them. I only go by the stories and want to be a part of amazing stories but if there’s any criterion other than story, character and director, it is this factor of big screen spectacles,” he added.
Though 2018 was an immensely successful year for him, courtesy Padmaavat and Simmba, Singh says doesn’t let expectations or fear of inevitable failure bother him. “I feel taking that kind of pressure isn’t going to do any good or help me in any way. You can only do what you can do, right?” he said.
“But I am going to go out there and work as hard, besides being honest as well as sincere in everything that I do. Then, I can only hope for the best because that’s all I can do. What will be the fate of my films isn’t entirely in my control. I can only do my bit. So, I don’t take the pressure of expectations,” he added.
