Ranveer had a very clear idea of what he wanted for the picture session, and everything all prepared out in advance, the source explained, adding that the actor is eager to take risks. The insider further added that Ranveer felt completely at ease in his own skin, which is why he decided to do the nude photoshoot.

ETimes had reported that Ranveer spoke about the photo shoot earlier. “It’s so easy for me to be physically naked, but in some of my performances I’ve been damn fucking naked. You can see my fucking soul. How naked is that? That’s being actually naked. I can be naked in front of a thousand people, I don’t give a shit. It’s just that they get uncomfortable,” he said.

Ranveer Singh was last seen in Jayeshbhai Jordaar, and has an interesting line-up of films, including Rohit Shetty's directorial Circus. He is also part of Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani that has Alia Bhatt as the female protagonist.
