“I have pledged myself to try and be the best entertainer that I can possibly be and to see the kind of response, love, praise that people are showering on the performance, it’s extremely heartening for me and it’s filled me with more motivation to go out and work even harder and keep doing good work.
“Of course, ‘Padmaavat’ will always be a gem on my filmography,” he added.
Ranveer also expressed that he hasn’t really had time to celebrate this great success as he is busy shooting his next which is Zoya Akhtar’s “Gully Boy”.
“It’s one of those rare successes where it gets the kind of critical success as well as commercial success, so yeah ! it’s been an avalanche of love coming in from everywhere and it’s been quite overwhelming but I haven’t really had time to celebrate as I have been shooting ‘Gully Boy’ everyday,” said Ranveer.
The actor also says that “Gully Boy” is doing extremely well.
“It’s going extremely well. Things are just flowing along sparklingly and delightfully with Zoya (Akhtar) and Alia (Bhatt).
