"I don't know if my character is similar or inspired by anyone. Somebody who works closely with YRF said to me that he gets a vibe of young Mr Amitabh Bachchan by looking at me in 'Gunday'. It is a huge compliment," he said. "Mr Bachchan is more than the reason for me to become an actor. I wanted to become actor because I used to watch Hindi films and was inspired by him. The cast and crew of the film were all youngsters so the atmosphere was energetic," he added.
Produced by Chopra, it also stars Arjun Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra and is slated to release on February 14.
Ranveer also recalled that Bachchan had once sent him a hand-written note praising his work in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Ram Leela'.
