Chef Ranveer Brar Transitions To Acting

NEW DELHI (ANI) – Chef-turned-actor Ranveer Brar recently shared insights into his upcoming film, ‘The Buckingham Murders,’ and discussed his on-screen chemistry with Kareena Kapoor Khan. Directed by Hansal Mehta, the movie is set to release on September 13 and stars Kareena Kapoor Khan in the lead role.

Ranveer, who plays the character Daljeet Kohli, expressed his excitement and trepidation about his acting career. Reflecting on his journey, he admitted that he had previously declined acting roles due to a fear of being typecast as a villain. However, he found his stride with ‘Modern Love Mumbai.’ His first experience in acting was through the series, which he found comforting as it involved playing a role similar to his own profession.

In his latest project, Ranveer takes on a role starkly different from his real-life persona. ‘This time, I’m not playing a chef. I liked the idea of portraying a character so unlike myself,’ he noted. He also praised director Hansal Mehta for his demanding yet insightful direction. ‘Hansal sir’s approach requires depth and precision. He’s amazing in how he understands you as an individual, your character, and how he simply helps you meet your character,’ he said.

Ranveer revealed that he didn’t attend any workshops or even a script reading before filming due to scheduling conflicts. He shared, ‘I went to London for the shoot, totally tense… And then Hansal sir told me, “Ranveer, I want stillness. Speak your dialogue with stillness, and maintain that stillness even when you’re not speaking.”‘

Ranveer also spoke about his experience working with Kareena Kapoor Khan, describing it as ‘outstanding.’ He said, ‘It was something else. You’re in awe most of the time. She’s the queen of the industry, and working with her was surreal. Her ability to transform instantly when the camera rolls is remarkable.’ He emphasized Kareena’s knack for making her co-stars feel at ease while bringing unparalleled expertise to her craft. ‘She has this amazing knack of just being normal and treating you very normally.’

‘The Buckingham Murders’ features Kareena as a grieving detective on a quest to capture a child murderer. The trailer showcases her intense portrayal, adding depth to the film’s narrative. The movie is set to release in theaters on September 13.
