Ranveer Singh hopes to trigger social change with Jayeshbhai Jordaar

Ranveer Singh’s social-comedy movie Jayeshbhai Jordaar has released worldwide today. Also starring Shalini Pandey, Boman Irani and Ratna Pathak Shah, the movie is directed by Divyang Thakkar. The movie centres around the protagonist, Ranveer Singh who plays the role of a Gujarati Sarpanch’s son. Set in the background of a village, Ranveer in his titular role is seen advocating for equal rights for men and women.

He will be presenting a rare new brand of heroism in Indian cinema. With this impactful movie, Ranveer hopes that he will be instrumental in triggering a positive change in the society.

In a recent interview with a leading publication, Ranveer Singh said, “I think Jayeshbhai Jordaar is a very important film for the times that we live in. I think it holds up a mirror to some of the ills that are in our society. I am very glad that I had this opportunity to be a part of a film that has such a relevant and pertinent social message, yet is being loved and appreciated as an entertainer. It’s one of the things that the purist in me had always hoped for, that through my craft; through art, I am able to affect social change.”

He also added, “It’s happened to me, you know, sometimes I watch certain films that have had a deep effect on the way I think, my thought process. I have seen social change come about after a film releases and that is the true power of cinema. I am really glad that there are signs that we, as the team of Jayeshbhai Jordaar, have been able to harness that power of cinema and affect people’s attitude and hopefully, affect social change in a positive way.”
