COOL FACTS

The otherwise lean Ranvir Shorey, known for his superb comic timing, can do anything for his close friend, actor-director Rajat Kapoor - even if it means putting on almost 15 kg. In an interview Ranvir said, `Putting on weight has been the toughest thing of my life. Basically, I am a thin person and it has been really difficult to put on so much weight. So nowadays I only eat and don’t exercise, ` he said. Ranvir, whose current diet comprises lots of potatoes, bananas and beer, has taken the risk of adding those extra pounds just for Rajat`s upcoming film.

Ranvir Shorey, film ‘Ugly and Pagli’ is already making waves across the nation. The film`s tagline says `99 Slaps and 1 Kiss`, which suggests that Ranvir Shorey would be hit 99 times by co-star Mallika Sherawat in the film. When asked about the ‘bang-bang’, the VJ turned actor revealed that he doesn’t mind being slapped by the hot Ms Sherawat, as long as the film works. However, Ranvir was slapped many more times during the making of the movie. “I was at the slapping workshop and I helped Mallika slap me in a way that it looks real onscreen. I did that because the slaps are very important for the movie,” he revealed.
