7 years ago, on this date, released a film called Band Baaja Baaraat which was very well received by the mainstream audiences. The small budgeted film went on to become a hit at the box office and marked the debut of director Manish Sharma and actor Ranveer Singh. Anushka Sharma was the only star attraction of the film as she had debuted with 2008 blockbuster Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008.

Ranveer Singh's performance as the always energetic, impulsive and enthusiastic Bittoo Sharma won over the critics and the audiences alike and he became a household name after the success of his debut film. He felt like a breath of fresh air in the industry where all the actors stick to their comfort zones. Be with his roles, his interactions with the press or fans and the zany outfits he wears almost everywhere, the actor has carved a special place for himself in the hearts of people.

He has done 9 films till date and has 4 hits, 2 average, one below average and 2 flops in his kitty and will soon be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati. It has been a rich and rewarding journey for him and we look at the 7 things which prove that he is on his way to becoming India's next superstar:

Energy & Enthusiasm: Everyone wants to know what's the secret? He is always charged and full of energy and lightens up any environment he is in. Fans love him whenever he starts dancing on the streets or shares funny videos with fellow actors on the social media. There's never a dull moment when you are with him and he brings the same charisma and energy to his roles.

Challenging Roles: He hasn't stuck with a comfort zone and that is one special quality about him. He has experimented in his 9 films, be it a period-romance, historical-drama, action-thriller or romantic comedies. He has played each of his role with 100% conviction.

Acting: He has aced almost all the roles he has played and dedicated a lot of time to study his characters and then portrays them effectively. His acting skills are top notch in films like Bajirao Mastani, Lootera, Band Baaja Baaraat and just the trailer of Padmavati is enough to give you the chills that simply establishes the fact that he's a great actor.

Dancing Skills: In Bollywood, if you are to stay for a long run you need to be a good dancer and his dancing skills are simply outstanding. In all of his films, he has given great dance numbers to the audiences and everyone appreciated how perfectly he aced the dance steps in Befikre and also when he started dancing as Krrish in the streets of Mumbai.

Keen Learner: Be it sword fighting or the Maratha accent of Bajirao or even the Gujarati accent of Ram in Ram Leela, the actor has showcased that he's a great learner. After effectively researching on his characters, he completely disappears into the character and this trait sets him apart from the competition.

Director's Actor: At a time when actors are highly careful about their roles and characters and only play the roles in which they are comfortable, he is an out and out director's actor. He has shaved his head for Bajirao, recused himself from everyone to portray Khilji in Padmavati and did all the things his directors asked him to. And for those who say he only does well in commercial films, maybe they have missed his best performance to date in Lootera.

Best Boyfriend Ever: It's not just acting where he strives to be the best, he has often given all the boyfriends in India some serious boyfriend goals and girls can't stop swooning over the best boyfriend ever. For those who are living under a rock, the actor is in a relationship with Deepika Padukone.
