NEW DELHI: Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh who is all set to reunite with Yash Raj Films (YRF) for ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’, says it’s a ‘miracle script’ that YRF found for me out of nowhere.
Written-directed by debutant Divyang Thakkar, Ranveer will be seen playing a Gujarati man.
”Jayeshbhai is a film with a big heart. In it’s 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,” Ranveer said.
Produced by Maneesh Sharma, this will be Ranveer’s next release after ’83’.
Ranveer has stamped his superstardom with his incredible body of work. He’s been consistently collaborating with all the top film-makers of the country.
From Sanjay Leela Bhansali to Rohit Shetty, from Zoya Akhtar and Kabir Khan to Karan Johar–he has been a favourite of the biggest names in the business.
”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 am glad that today I find myself in a position where I can recognise exceptional talent and wholeheartedly back the vision of a brilliant new writer-director like Divyang. Jayeshbhai Jordaar will be my next release after 83,” Ranveer said.
Maneesh Sharma says, ”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.”
The film is being produced by YRF’s homegrown producer Maneesh Sharma, who also discovered Divyang, and it will go on floors this October.
