Sharing his views on the same, the director said, “There is nobody who kind of brings that energy on the film’s set that Ranveer gets. Prior to this, I worked with Ranbir Kapoor in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, who is actually calm and composed, someone who gets his own energy on the set. And now, working with Ranveer, he gave me a cultural shock. Then I realized that all the hard work that he does and the enthusiasm that he gets is just to enhance his performance. I have not seen this kind of energy. But, I knew one thing he was the most indispensable character in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. There could not have been Rocky Randhawa if it would not have been Ranveer Singh.”

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is currently running in theatres. It also stars Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Tota Roy Chowdhury and Churni Ganguly. It was released in theatres on July 28, 2023.
