Ranveer Singh loves to watch theatre in the musicals format. The sheer energy, grandeur and vibrant nature of Broadway and the West End have always got the star hooked. He also indulged in watching musicals while travelling to European capitals. In London currently, Ranveer watched three musicals. He has watched Thriller on Sunday and School of Rock and Alladin on Monday.
As musicals are a common interest for both Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ranveer, he always encourages his mentor and filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali to take one of their films on to the Broadway stage. Ranveer has often told Sanjay Bhansali that both Ram Leela and Bajirao Mastani can be taken on to the Broadway stage with emotional stories and loads of color, drama and singing- dancing in the narrative. Bhansali made lasting impact among theatre aficionados with the musical version of Padmavati a few years back. Both are very fond of watching musicals, so maybe someday, one of their lavish, successful films will also become a musical onstage.
The musicals Ranveer has watched and loved in the past are Lion King Book of Mormon, Phantom of the Opera, Kinky Boots, and cats
The unbridled energy of Ram or the sheer magnificence of Bajirao will surely make for some entertaining viewing onstage. Here’s another potential SLB-Ranveer collaboration that holds huge promise.
