Ranveer Singh has carved a unique space in Indian cinema through his ability to transform completely for each role, disappearing into characters that range from historical warriors to contemporary sportsmen. In an in-depth conversation, the actor discussed his approach to these remarkable transformations.
The process, Singh revealed, often begins months before filming commences. "Every character lives in a specific body, thinks in a particular way, and exists within their own rhythm," he explained. "My job is to discover and embody all of these elements authentically."
Physical transformations have been a notable aspect of Singh's career, requiring dedication to specific fitness regimens, diet plans, and sometimes prosthetics. The actor works with specialists to achieve the physique each role demands, whether it's gaining muscle or altering his appearance through makeup.

Beyond the physical, Singh emphasizes the importance of psychological preparation. He immerses himself in research, speaking with people who can provide insights into his characters' worlds and experiences. This groundwork informs every aspect of his performance.
The actor also discussed the challenges of switching between projects with vastly different requirements. "The transition period can be intense," he admitted. "Letting go of one character to fully embrace another requires both physical and mental reset."
