"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.
"I have never said that I am a method actor. I think method as a term is loosely thrown out. Nobody understands method... I knew the process (of acting) but it changes with every film, every role and every scene," he said.
"Mr Bhansali broke my idea and notions of acting. He creates and changes things on sets and there was an evolution in me. Adi (Aditya Chopra) is a blend of both (Bhansali and Zoya Akhtar)."
When asked about stepping into Shah Rukh's territory, the "Ram Leela" actor said, "I am the least territorial person. I am not stepping into anyone's territory. I work as films come to me. Adi was clear he wanted to make the film with me."
According to Ranveer, the "Dilwale Dhulania Le Jayenge" helmer spoke to him even before he started scripting the film.
"I am happy and proud that my mentor (Chopra) selected me to be part of this film. It's a big deal for me to be performing for him. It will always be a special film."
"Physical nudity means nothing to me. As an actor I am letting myself emote and show feelings on-screen. I am putting a lot more on display as an actor.
