Celeb life is not easy: Ranveer
Bollywood heartthrob Ranveer Singh loves all the attention. He admits being in spotlight is like living his dream. The actor, who is fondly called the Hindi film industry's livewire, thanks to his infectious energy and smile, says being a celebrity comes with some responsibilities — which he is happy to embrace — but doesn't let any of it take away his focus from his first love, acting. “Celebrity life is not easy. There is a lot of scrutiny. This is compounded with the coming of mobile phones and smart phones which have a camera. There is constant attention, sometimes too much of it.”
‘My acting journey has been quite interesting. My learning has progressed with every new director I’ve worked with and the different languages I’ve had to learn for them. Whatever I am today and the knowledge I have about my craft are through the experiences I have had in front of the camera’

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan says he was offered the role of late Sunil Dutt in Rajkumar Hirani's Sanju but he refused it as he wanted to essay the title role. Asked if he was offered to play the role of Sunil Dutt, he said: “Hirani approached me with the script and I loved it. He wanted me to play Dutt saab's role. But Sanju's role is unbelievable.”
Ryan, Bay team for Netflix project
Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds will be seen in Michael Bay's upcoming film Six Underground for Netflix. Netflix will co-finance and distribute Bay's film. This will be the first time the director and actor will be working with the streaming service. Bay's home studio, Paramount, was considered at one point, given their long-standing relationship. Netflix won out after it committed to Bay's budget of around $125 million, making it the studio's biggest production to date, passing The Irishman, which sources say had a budget of around $106 million.
The deal is another milestone for Netflix and film chief Scott Stuber as the studio continues to draw major talent.
