Ranveer Singh Dances And Raps After Receiving Marrakech's Etoile D'Or Award

The award is previously given to Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan

On the opening night of the Marrakech International Film Festival Bollywood star Ranveer Singh took centre stage to dance and perform an impromptu rap number from Gully Boy as he received the Etoile d'Or award. According to Variety, during the festival's opening ceremony, Ranveer performed one of his characteristic energy dances. As the actor was presented with Marrakech's Etoile d'Or trophy, he said, "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," reported Variety.

Following the opening ceremony performance, he moved to Marrakech's famous Jemaa El Fna Square where Ranveer's Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial film Bajirao Mastani was screened.

There he treated the crowd to a rendition of a rap number from 'Gully Boy' and once again danced. "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, as per Variety.

The Marrakech International Film Festival has previously honoured Indian stars including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan and in 2012, it ran a special sidebar to mark 100 years of Indian cinema.
