Ranveer Singh had a bleak year, what with both releases Jayeshbhai Jordaar and Cirkus turning out to be disastrous at the box office. The talented actor has all his hopes pinned on Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, which opens in April. The multi-starrer would have Ranveer sharing screen space with one of his idols Dharmendra for the first time.

Dharmendra is full of praise for the fanboy-star. “Ranveer, Alia, dono bahot pyare hain (both Ranveer and Alia are lovely). And they are both so hard-working. Ups and downs don’t matter when you are good actor. I have had my share of them. Every actor must take the failure on his chin. Karan Johar has made a fabulous entertainer. I am sure it will benefit all of us.”

Apparently, Ranveer will leave no stone unturned to ensure that nothing goes wrong with Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. A source close to the development reveals, “He has been asking Karan to show him the rushes of the film. Ranveer is hell-bent on making sure that nothing goes wrong with Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. For the song that he will shoot with Alia in February, Ranveer is in full prep mode. At the moment, Karan Johar is Ranveer’s saviour and guardian angel.”
