He revealed that it was an accident that changed his perception towards how he dressed it and he accepted the idea of standing out from the rest. Ranveer said, "Lootera was tough for me. I was a newcomer. It taught me a lot, but I was out of my comfort zone. The turning point was a back injury. It was scary. I was in bed for some three months, staring at the ceiling. The doctor said I may not be able to dance or fight again. I could see my dream slipping away. After I recovered, I became a more authentic person. An up-and-coming hero is expected to be a certain way, and this whole projection thing was too taxing. I knew I was going to face criticism either way. The first time I followed my own style was during an interview for Gunday with Anupama Chopra. I’d hurt my foot, so I was wearing Kolhapuri chappals — but with a brown suit and a fedora and all kinds of blingy knick-knacks." So this is how the whole saga began!
Gully Boy has been getting good reviews at the Berlin Film Festival with special praises reserved for the performances of Ranveer and Alia Bhatt, who is the female lead. The movie will release in India on February 14.
