'I THOUGHT I WAS LOSING
MYSELF TO THIS CHARACTER’
IMAGE: Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji.
The moustache and beard are gone. The long tresses are missing. The only thing that remains constant whenever we meet him -- no matter what
time of day or night -- is his energy. The venue for the media interaction is the Yash Raj Studio. The interview is xed for 9 pm, but it starts closer
to midnight.
Ranveer Singh walks in with his entourage.
The maniac Khilji is out of him now and it's a relief for Ranveer. He swears off dark characters for a while. "Only because it is really hard," he
explains. "I don't think it is healthy to play that part anymore." Ranveer will be seen next as a street rapper in Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy, and he's
already in that space. He's been up since 4 am that day, and he says he has a 6 am shift in the morning.
