Ranveer Singh on the cover of Film Street Journal

Ranveer Singh, who is hot in the news for his upcoming projects which include Ram Leela, Lootera and Gunday, is sizzling up the cover of the January issue of the Film Street Journal.

Along with the sexy cover, the actor has been chosen as the 'Best bet of 2013'. Not only does he have some of the most high profile projects in his kitty, in his tell-all interview with the magazine, he told us some lesser known facts about himself.

So, what's with the gap between his last film and his films for 2013? Ranveer feels that more than quantity, quality of content matters. "I'm aware that at this nascent stage of my career a gap of over one-and-a-half years between two of my films is really not the best thing but I know that ultimately the next instalment, the next film that comes out should be a good one and I'm very confident, very happy with the way Lootera has gone."

So now that Bhansali's Ram Leela's preparation is in full swing, how does it feel? "Mr Bhansali likes to take his own time, it's a unique style of filmmaking which I really appreciate because every technician, every artiste gets all the time, all the space, all the support he wants to really do his best work. It's quite rare to find a director who doesn't let the creatives be dictated by or bogged down by the budgeting or the scheduling. He stays so true to the film that he is in that sense one of a kind. I feel blessed to be working with him at such a young age."
And he is sure as hell loyal to his co-star Deepika - "Yes, it was Kareena in my head for a long time, I won't deny that," he accepts promptly. "There was definitely a period of transition but when I started reading with Deepika it changed completely. Now if you say 'Leela', it is Deepika's image that pops into my head."
