First look of Ranveer Singh as Jayeshbhai Jordaar is impressive

Ranveer Singh will be seen playing the role of a Gujarati man in YRF’s Jayeshbhai Jordaar. The film will be directed by Divyang Thakkar and now, the makers have unveiled the first look of the movie.

YRF took to Instagram to share the first look. They posted, "Get ready to embark on a JORDAAR journey! Presenting @ranveersingh in and as #JayeshbhaiJordaar | #ManeeshSharma | #DivyangThakkar | #FirstLook."


In the first look, we can see that Ranveer is trying to protect a bunch of women dressed in saree. It has a very Gujarati feel to it, going very well with the movie’s theme.

Talking about his character, Ranveer stated, “As Charlie Chaplin once said, ‘To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!’. Jayeshbhai is an unlikely hero - an ordinary man, who ends up doing something extraordinary when he’s hurled into a threatening situation. Jayeshbhai is sensitive and compassionate. He believes in equal rights between men and women in a society that is deeply rooted in patriarchal ideals, practices, and doctrines. Jayeshbhai presented an exciting challenge - to deconstruct myself in order to transform into a kind of character I’ve never inhabited before.”

Divyang Thakkar has worked in many Gujarati films as an actor and now will make his directorial debut with Jayeshbhai Jordaar. While talking about his director, Ranveer said, “Divyang has poured his soul into this brilliant piece of writing that will nudge you to introspect whilst making you smile and laugh the entire time.”

Jayeshbhai Jordaar surely seems to be a very interesting film and we can’t wait for it to hit the screens.
