On Thursday, actor Ranveer Singh revealed the Mumbai location and date of the 67th Filmfare Awards. During the press conference, Ranveer said his wife Deepika Padukone is one of the “most giving” co-stars he has ever worked with. The actor and his good friend Arjun Kapoor will be hosting the awards show. The films Bajirao Mastani, Ram Leela, and Padmaavat all star Ranveer and Deepika. When asked if working with Deepika makes him competitive, Ranveer stated, “Definitely not. I am not a competitive actor at all. I have a theatre background, and they teach you at a very early stage in your training about ‘collaborativeness.’
From what I’ve learned, not just in my training but also in the twelve years of acting in films, is that you are only as good as your co-star. You’ll give what you get. It takes two to tango.” Ranveer Singh continued by saying that Deepika Padukone has been a more “generous co-actor” than some of his other co-stars, who he has experienced in the past trying to “hog the limelight.” He also stated, “I don’t subscribe to one-upmanship and upstaging. I’ve had, fortunately, or unfortunately, co-star experiences where they have tried one-upmanship.
They have tried to hog the limelight. I don’t subscribe to that. I think filmmaking is teamwork, a collaboration between actors. It is like a jugalbandi. It is give and take. On the flip side, I’ve also experienced the good side of actors who are so secure and giving. My wife is certainly one of them.” On August 30, the Jio Convention Centre in Mumbai will host the 67th Filmfare Awards ceremony. On September 9, the program will be broadcast.
