Indian acting star Ranveer Singh took centre stage at the opening night of the Marrakech International Film Festival on Friday evening, treating spectators to dancing and an impromptu rap session as he received a tribute award.
The Gully Boy and 83 star, who is one of Bollywood’s highest-paid actors, bounded onto the stage of the opening ceremony performing one of his characteristic energy dances.
“This is the darkest period. When I look at the world around me, I see all sorts of pain and suffering. I feel that in my capacity as an entertainer, the best thing I can do is lighten people’s burden,” said Singh as he received Marrakech’s Etoile d’Or trophy.
Marrakech has a long history of celebrating Indian cinema. The festival previously honored Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan and in 2012, it ran a special sidebar to mark 100 years of Indian cinema.
After his appearance at the official opening ceremony, Singh high-tailed it to Marrakech’s famous Jemaa El Fna Square to introduce an open-air screening of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 2015 multi-award-winning 18th costume drama Bajirao Mastani, in which the actor had one of his breakout roles.
He treated the crowd to a rendition of the rap number from Gully Boy and danced again.
“You put me on a stage and give me a mike, and I feel compelled to sing you a song, or do you a dance, or show you a movie, or tell you a story,” he said.
The Competition Jury also took the stage at the opening ceremony.
