All that I have achieved as an actor today is due to these titanic cinematic forces having put their faith in me. I’m glad that today I find myself in a position where I can recognise exceptional talent and wholeheartedly back the vision of a brilliant new writer-director like Divyang. Jayeshbhai Jordaar will be my next release after 83.”
Ranveer added, “Jayeshbhai is a film with a big heart. In its concept as well as in its appeal, it encompasses the broadest spectrum of the cinema-loving audience — it’s a film for everyone! It is, in fact, a ‘miracle script’ that YRF found for me out of nowhere.

The sheer brilliance of the writing compelled me to immediately green-light this film. Both humorous and poignant, Jayeshbhai is right up there with the most solid on-paper material I’ve ever come across”
Speaking about the film, Maneesh said that Thakkar’s script is an example of a balance of a relevant message delivered in an entertaining manner. “What makes this a truly thrilling venture is that I see this as Ranveer, and I are taking it forward. Almost a decade ago, we started our journey together when YRF placed their faith in us newcomers and today we collaborate with another new talent to offer the audiences a content-driven mass entertainer,” added Sharma, who directed Ranveer in their maiden film Band Baaja Baaraat.
