Ranveer Singh, who will be seen conning girls in his forthcoming film "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl", says that his character 'Ricky Bahl' in the film is not that of a casanova but of a charmer.

"Ricky Bahl is a professional conman. He's not a casanova or a heart breaker. He has a natural skill of charming the ladies and he thinks why not use his natural skill and get some money from them," Ranveer said here at a press conference.

"His purpose is not to break hearts or be a casanova but money is his main focus. He does not play with emotions," he added.

The 26-year-old actor also admits he is a self-critic.

"I am very over-critical of myself. I hate my own performances in the films," said Ranveer, who hit the jackpot with his first film "Band Baaja Baraat".

"Ladies vs Ricky Bahl" also features Anushka Sharma, Parineeti Chopra, Aditi Sharma and Dipannita Sharma. Directed by Maneesh Sharma, the film releases Dec 9.
