’Jayeshbhai and I are both accidental heroes!’: Ranveer Singh speaks about being an underdog who had the desire to stand up for his dreams.
Superstar Ranveer Singh is starring in Yash Raj Films’ Jayeshbhai Jordaar, a big screen family entertainer that will present a new brand of hero and heroism that is rare in Indian cinema.
Ranveer plays an unlikely hero who stands up for his unborn child and wife and in that process, has to take on his family that’s representative of the patriarchal society that we live in.
As we all know, Ranveer too is an accidental hero who has carved his name in the history of Bollywood through generation defining performances. He has forced open many doors in Bollywood through his incredible acting skills and has established himself as the best actor of the country.

Ranveer feels given his journey in cinema, there is a parallel to be drawn with Jayeshbhai’s character arc in the film. He says, “There are several parallels between my life and Jayesh’s life.
Sometimes, you are faced with daunting circumstances when you think how am I going to possibly overcome this to achieve what I want to achieve and there is some amount of courage and fortitude that propels your forward, that you tap into overcoming all of those obstacles and adversities that gets you to where you want to get to and you go about it like your life depends on it.”
The superstar adds, “I found that in playing Jayesh I was able to tap into my own life’s experiences. With the odds stacked against oneself, you turn to the power that love gives you.
In Jayesh’s case it’s the love for his wife and daughter. In my case, it’s the love for my parents and my desire to make them proud by achieving something which has propelled me forward. Jayeshbhai and I are both accidental heroes!”
He further says, “So yes, there are several parallels in the journey of the character and my own journey. A performance is most effective when one as an actor is able to tap into the life experiences that you’ve lived through, if you are able to tap into that and pour that into the performance, that special source that allows it to resonate in people’s hearts and make the performance effective.”
