Many celebrities reacted to Ranveer Singh’s nude photoshoot.

In the photoshoot for Paper magazine, Ranveer paid homage to Burt Reynolds’ iconic 1972 shoot for Cosmopolitan magazine. The magazine dubbed Ranveer “the last Bollywood superstar”.

In the accompanying interview, Ranveer Singh reflected upon the effect that the last two years have had on him. “Everything’s gone to sh*t. I understand that this journey of life is an agonizing f**king journey. It’s agonizing to just exist. I am hyper-sensitive to everything around me, it’s just the way I am, it’s how I’m wired. I feel a lot more. If I’m angry, I get really f**king angry, if I’m sad I get really f**king sad, if I’m happy I get really f**king happy. It is very difficult, and I get overwhelmed on a daily basis,” he said.

While the actor failed to impress the audience with his last film, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, he is now working on his next with Karan Johar. Titled Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, the film also stars Alia Bhatt in the lead role. He also has Rohit Shetty’s Cirkus in the pipeline.
