Ranveer Singh is one of those rare breeds who wouldn't mind taking extreme measures when it comes to love, including laying down his life at the feet of his beloved-even if it is just for a film scene says The Mirror.

The actor was apparently dying to die for his ladylove Deepika Padukone so much so that he urged director Homi Adajania to cast him in the role of her dead husband in Finding Fanny. And he didn't charge a single penny for this special appearance.

The prospect of spending some quality time with Deepika in Goa, where the film was being shot, was incentive enough for Ranveer. And the actor ended up spending a week in the hippie land with Arjun Kapoor and Deepika, although he was required for was just half a day of shoot.

Elaborating how Ranveer landed the role, Homi told Mirror, "I was telling Ranveer the story of Finding Fanny and he suddenly said that he wanted to play Gabo. He was laughing but at the same time, was dead serious. I told him that I'd need him in Goa for half a day's shoot. However, we had so much fun there, that he ended up staying for over a week!"

So, was it Deepika who convinced Homi to cast Ranveer? "No," quipped the director, " Deepika had nothing to do with it. She isn't the kind of person who'd ever mix friendship and profession."

Homi is now looking forward to working with Ranveer in a full-fledged role. "His energy is infectious and with the right kind of subject, I know we'll be able to create magic on screen," he asserts.
