Ranveer to play dwarf in Anand L Rai's next?

Director Aanand L Rai's next is in the news for its ongoing rounds of casting.

Salman Khan's name was the first to surface for this ambitious project, in which the protagonist reportedly plays a dwarf. The actor was keen, though he wanted some secrecy on the subject. But before he knew, everyone was talking about it. And the next thing we heard was that Salman had turned down the film.



Round two, Shah Rukh Khan's name cropped up for the same role. But the 'Tanu Weds Manu' director brushed it off saying it was just speculation. Now, round three. According to our source, Ranveer Singh is in the reckoning for this film. Neither the actor nor the director confirmed the news, but Eros, the corporation backing the project, didn't deny it.

Everyone knows how Ranveer does not believe in shortcuts, in fact, he goes to extremes to get into the skin of his character.

So we are guessing, he wouldn't mind going half his size to tap his full potential. Well, that's the 'long and short' of this story for now.
