"There are a lot of directors I want to work with. I hope I get to work with new directors who have fresh and new perspective are are new age filmmakers," Ranveer told reporters here at the song launch of "Befikre" last night.
"I always learn from my directors like Vikramaditya Motwane, Maneesh Sharma, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Aditya Chopra to Zoya Akhtar. I hope to work with directors who enrich me as an actor," he said.
The 31-year-old actor said after megastar Amitabh Bachchan and superstar Shah Rukh Khan, he is the only actor to be directed by Bhansali and Chopra.
The "Lootera" actor said he does not believe in "method acting" but he does know the process of acting and always tries to improve his craft.
