"I think I made a strong start and I knew that was important and I knew that I will not get many chances. It was do or die for me. I had to make a good first impression and I managed it," Ranveer said.
He believes that his effortless portrayal of Bittoo Sharma, a street-smart boy, helped him get the visibility he wanted.
"A lot of good work is coming from that perception which people formed of me from my first film. I am happy that I was able to make a mark," Ranveer added.
Having said that, the actor admits delivering good work consistently is vital.
"(I know) It is about delivery after this. Gone are the days of surviving on your persona," he said.
For now, he is doing good - with movies like "Ram Leela" and "Gunday" in his kitty!
