Whether it was the unkempt Nanoo in "Pyaar Ke Side Effects" or the lovable Delhi resident in "Khosla Ka Ghosla", people just don't seem to get enough of Ranvir Shorey.

The VJ-turned-actor Ranvir agrees that the two films have given him a new creative impetus, reports Bollywood Trade.

"'Pyaar Ke...' and 'Khosla...' have definitely won me loads of accolades and recognition. Fortunately, I landed up with good roles under good directors."

And now he has muscled his way into the Yash Raj camp and will feature in Madhuri Dixit's comeback film "Aaja Nachley". Apparently, Madhuri plays a theatre artist in it and Ranvir and Konkona Sensharma play a part of her theatre group. Cinematographer Anil Mehta is directing the film.

"I play this guy who's madly in love with Madhuri," said Ranvir.

He prefers to be known for his work than his personal liaisons. Asked about his alleged rift with Konkona, he snapped: "I don't want to react to any of these questions!"

Incidentally, he is paired opposite Konkona in Madhur Bhandarkar's "Traffic Signal", which exposes the underbelly of Mumbai.

"The film portrays the life of people at traffic signals and shows how beggars, eunuchs and others make a living at signals. I play a conman and a drug addict in the film."

Ranvir, who also has a pivotal role in Rajat Kapoor's "Mithiya' is grateful to the latter for realising his potential as an actor. He is also in awe of his co-star Naseeruddin Shah.

"Rajat first cast me in 'Mixed Doubles' and now it's 'Mithiya'. I am more than happy to be a part of the film. Naseer has been very generous in his love and affection. There was so much to learn from him," said Ranvir, who plays a struggling actor who lands the role of a 'real' life man in the film.

He will also be seen in the John Abraham-starrer "No Smoking". Apart from that he has "Sirf" and "Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd".

His decision to sign a film is influenced by the script and the director. "The script is of primary importance. I enjoy ensemble pieces and character roles."
