‘Lootera’ re-release: Ranveer & Sonakshi’s timeless romance returns to theaters
The film, inspired by O. Henry’s classic short story The Last Leaf, is renowned for its poetic storytelling, soulful music, and breathtaking cinematography.
Actor Ranveer Singh, who is currently busy shooting Simmba, says he is a huge fan of actor Govinda.
“I am a huge Govinda fan. Accessories in my bedroom are arranged in the ‘Raja Babu’ way. All the hats, all the shoes, all the sunglasses. Govinda is an all-time great, one of the most mesmeric talents to have ever graced the scene,” Ranveer said on Saavn’s new show “Take 2 with Anupama and Rajeev.”

“Kill Dil was a real trip for me. Both him and Anil Kapoor… I get the same feeling, I didn’t know what was happening. (It was) Really surreal. Just to have been slapped by Govinda on-screen felt like ‘life ban gayi’ (life was made),” he added.
Asked when he does a film like Simmba is he actually channelling these films, Ranveer said: “I might be doing it subconsciously and thats completely natural but its not like I proactively do it. I used to do a lot of prep up in my earlier days, watch performances. After working on ‘Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela’ with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, I stopped doing that.”
Now he goes to the gym and watches some movies.
“It’s like a nightcap. Like end your day after watching a film,” Ranveer added.
