MID-DAY (May 17, 2018)

At a time when the audience is lapping up Hollywood superhero films, Ranveer Singh, who has lent his voice to the Hindi version of Deadpool 2, has been scouting for ideas in this genre. He is hopeful that India will soon have its own “bona fide superhero”. The actor says that though the subjects he has been exploring in the superhero genre have not materialised, the day is not far when the country will get its “true blue Indian superhero.” “I have been exploring various superhero subjects for a while now. Of course, none of them have materialised yet. But I don’t think we are very far from seeing a true blue Indian superhero. There are some really interesting characters. Hopefully, not very long from now, we will see a bona fide superhero, a big ticket, big screen bonanza that is truly Indian”.

Besides the superhero projects, Singh says he is also interested in doing films in English, and is waiting for the right opportunity to knock at his door. “I do want to be part of something that is produced in English, and I am waiting for the right opportunity. There have been opportunities, which for one reason or another, have not worked out. But soon, if everything falls into place, the timing is right and the gig is right, most certainly, it is something I am interested in.”
