Jayeshbhai Jordaar, starring Ranveer Singh, has finally been given a theatrical release date. The actor made the news with a hilarious video on Thursday, revealing that the picture would now be released in theatres on May 13, 2022. Ranveer also shared how Jayeshbhai Jordaar came to be as part of the announcement.
Recalling when he first met debut writer-director, Divyang Thakkar, Ranveer said, “My mentor Adi Chopra called me one day and he said ‘I have found a miracle script and I would like for you to hear it’ and I went for the narration. Divyang Thakkar who’s never directed anything before gave me a narration in which I was laughing through my tears and guffawing, laughing and crying at the same time. I had a tissue box kept on the table which got over by the end of the narration. I was entertained, moved.”
Ranveer Singh added, “I agreed then and there on the spot to be a part of this film. The heart of this film is the writer-director Divyang Thakkar and he is a bundle of pure love and joy and the goodness of his heart, the kind, humble and loving soul that he is, reflects in his work, his writing in his film and in my character.”
He elaborated on his persona, saying that he saw Jayeshbhai as an opportunity to create something new and distinct. “Jayesh is a character that I have never attempted before and so it was something completely fresh and new for me to embody which was a very exciting prospect for me. I had to really create something because of this type of characterisation and these types of emotional beats, I have not played before. I saw the prospect of creating something unique and original for myself and as a performer, it’s been a very fulfilling process,” the actor added.
Ranveer Singh has projects like Cirkus in the works, and he’s glad he’s not playing the same roles. “I have always hoped, prayed and wished that I don’t repeat myself, that my characters are vastly different from one another, that my repertoire is diverse, my filmography is diverse,” Ranveer concluded.
