Ranveer said, “Aapko yaad hai papa, barah saal pehle, mein koshish kar raha tha aur mein portfolio banane ja raha tha… socha apna calling card leke jayenge aur dikhayenge ki bhaiya mein hoon naya actor, please mujhe kaam do, (Remember, papa, I was attempting to get my portfolio built, 12 years ago, to present to people and request work.)”
He further said,“Portfolio ka quotation aaya ₹50,000… bola ke acha wala banayenge, bade photographer se banayenge. Meine bola papa ₹50,000 bohut expensive hai toh papa ne bola ‘fikar mat kar beta tera papa betha hai yahan pe’(The portfolio costed ₹50,000, which I felt was a lot, but my father told me not to worry and said he would help me.)”
