Ranveer Singh praises director Atlee’s vision

Ranveer Singh, who has long expressed admiration for South Indian cinema, spoke highly of filmmaker Atlee. Recalling their bond, he said, “Atlee became a household name in Jawan and became the biggest director in India. I had messaged him after the release of Mersal. I told him, ‘Sir, I love your cinema. You should come to Mumbai and we should make some movies together.’”

He described their friendship warmly, saying, “He’s been such a dear friend to me over the years, and it’s always great hanging out with him.” Ranveer also visited Atlee on set when Deepika Padukone was shooting. “To be working with him and his super-duper awesome team, being in front of the lens of Mr. G.K. Vishnu, what a great honour, what a great delight. You may have heard this before, but take it from me — he is creating something that you will have never experienced in Indian cinema before,” he shared as per News 18.

Ranveer praised Atlee further, adding, “He’s the King of Masala, and it’s only appropriate that he would direct the definitive presentation of that genre.”
