Ranveer Singh Eyes a ‘South Indian Thali’ of Entertainment?

Bollywood star Ranveer Singh is keen on collaborating with Telugu filmmakers and there is a very special reason for this. According to a source, the actor is looking for “a commercial script similar to a South Indian thali, with a mix of all the ingredients.”

Ranveer had earlier shown interest in working with director Prashanth Varma and even participated in a photoshoot for two days. However, due to creative differences, the project did not move forward. The actor is reportedly currently in talks with director Boyapati Sreenu and a few other Telugu filmmakers.

After exploring intense and performance-based roles in Bollywood and scoring huge success in spy action adventure Dhurandhar, Ranveer is said to be eyeing for a spectacular commercial outing. “He wants Telugu directors to combine songs, dances, comedy scenes, a romantic angle and high-octane action built around a fictional, over-the-top character designed to connect with the masses,” the source adds.

Meanwhile, Ranveer has also agreed in principle to make a big-ticket film with production company Mythri Movie Makers, which has made a strong entry into Bollywood with the success of Jaat. “Ranveer is comfortable working with Mythri as they have not compromised on budget, scale or promotions. All they need now is the right director and script to get the project off the ground this year,” the source said.

After collaborating with stars like Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan, Mythri Movie Makers is now keen to join hands with Ranveer Singh and further strengthen their footprint in Bollywood.
