Ranveer Singh fans have something to be pleased about: it looks like his role in Zoya Akhtar‘s upcoming film (now revealed to be titled Dil Dhadakne Do) is going to be a huge one for his career. In fact, the film’s co-producer Ritesh Sidhwani even revealed that Ranveer will be seen on-screen like he never has before, playing the role of a rich businessman.

They’re keeping his looks majorly under wraps, though, as Ranveer has signed an exclusive contract with the team. He won’t shoot for any other film – or even an ad! – for a good four and a half months, while he is working on Dil Dhadakne Do. As per Mirror‘s report, Ranveer’s role is “prim and proper” in this film, which you’ll realise is a big change from the kind of work he has done in the past. Aside from Lootera, most of Ranveer’s work has featured him playing a boisterous, loud character.

In fact, other reports suggest that Ranveer’s role in this film is so important that the other actors – Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Farhan Akhtar – have been asked to work their dates around his schedule. Ranveer is expected to shoot for 73 days, out of the 80 days total shooting time.

Are you looking forward to this film? Do you think it’s going to be a big one for Ranveer? We expect it will be – he’s already proved himself to be a good actor and we have a lot of hope pinned on him, so fingers crossed that Dil Dhadakne Do proves to be a big film for him!

Psst! Turns out there’s no exclusivity clause in the contract after all. Read the update here from Ranveer and his spokesperson.
