SS Rajamouli’s last film RRR turned out to be a global blockbuster and it also won the Oscar for the Best Song for the dance track ‘Naatu Naatu.’ Starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR, the movie was set on the backdrop of India’s independence from the British and it told the fictitious story of two Indian revolutionaries Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem.

Karan Johar says Ranveer Singh has two sides to himself: “One person is silent, quiet, happy with self, introvert and then there is an extrovert, an exhibitionist”

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani marked the return of Karan Johar as a director after seven years since his last feature film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles, the film has garnered positive response across the board. It also stars Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan, Tota Roy Chowdhury, Churni Ganguly, Aamir Bashir and Anjali Anand. The film, which was released on July 28, is currently available for rent on Prime Video. In a recent interview, the director said that the actor has two sides to himself.

Karan Johar says Ranveer Singh has two sides to himself: “One person is silent, quiet, happy with self, introvert and then there is an extrovert, an exhibitionist”

Speaking to Mid-Day, Karan said, “He is actually very much two people. There is that one person who is silent, quiet, and happy with self, an introvert. And then there is an extrovert, an exhibitionist, an absolute 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 Padmaavat and Bajirao Mastani, he had a different energy.”

Shedding the light on working with Ranveer Singh in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani Karan said, “He likes a certain atmosphere to create on set for anything. He is very particular about things like his eye line or silence on set like he is very sound sensitive. Even if, like a kilometre 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.”

Recently, it was announced that the movie has been selected for the Busan International Film Festival 2023. The film, helmed by Karan Johar, has been selected in the Open Cinema section.

Meanwhile, Karan Johar will next helm an action project. However, he has many projects in the pipeline as a producer. On the other hand, Ranveer Singh will next headline Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3 and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Baiju Bawra.
