In his pursuit to be called a versatile actor, Ranvir Shorey has worked really hard to make his mark in the film industry.

“It feels good to be tagged as a talented, versatile actor. I might not have had great success and become the most sought after actor in the business, but I have had a more consistent graph [than many others]. I’ve had more average and above-average graph for the last 10 to 15 years and I think that is a nice place to be in,” he says.

If there’s one thing that has remained constant in the actor’s journey, it is the struggle to prove his acting prowess. “The entertainment business can’t thrive without putting you in a box. Actors who are super successful are the ones who thrive on the image by creating their forte,” he says. “But that’s not why I had started working in this industry. I like to keep breaking the image by doing diverse roles. To be able to prove my credentials of a dramatic actor, I took up roles which were different and challenging. I’ve never repeated a role, even if it did well for me,” the 47-year-old adds.

Ranvir gives credit to the digital space for his recent success. “The digital space has changed a lot of things for me. I have done quite a lot of work in the last two years in the web space. Because it is a new avenue and platform, I feel that things are more open and even right now,” he concludes.
