Ranveer Singh has built an enviable filmography by playing myriad roles in the films that he has acted till date. And the same has now earned him the tag of versatile from none other than his 'Leela' and rumoured girlfriend Deepika Padukone. Praising Ranveer's acting, Deepika Padukone told Indian Express, `I think as a person he is the the same. He has the same energy, warmth, enthusiasm and protectiveness. As an actor, Ranveer has grown tremendously as an actor and I see that change post 'Ram-Leela'. That movie, after 'Band Baja Baaraat' was one of the defining moments of his career. I genuinely feel he is the most versatile actor in the current lot. I think right from 'Band Bajaa Baarat', he could do 'Lootera', 'Ram-Leela' and 'Dil Dhadakane Do'. He has played different characters in these films and he is doing it not for the heck of it. He does it convincingly.`

A proud Ranveer, who was patiently listening, couldn't stop beaming. Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone will be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Bajirao Mastani', which is scheduled to release on December 18.
