With everyone from action heroes like Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn to romcom stars Shahid Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor working on action films, it is now Ranveer Singh's turn.

With the successes of Wanted, Dabangg and Singham, Singh, who made a name in the industry with hit romcom Band Baaja Baaraat, is itching to do an action film.

He will probably not have to wait too long, since filmmakers armed with scripts and DVDs of South Indian actions flicks have reportedly approached him.

"I have been given DVDs to watch, so that re-makes can be made. Most of these are South Indian action flicks. I am going through them and will probably say yes to one of them," said Singh, who is currently working on his second film, Ricky Bahl Versus The Ladies, another romcom, with Yashraj productions.

According to the actor, his second film will be complete soon and by September, he will have a better idea of what he will do next. "I want to start my next film by January," he said.

The actor, keeping in mind, the challenge before him, has started working on his physique. "I'll be honest. I have to work hard to look presentable," he said, candidly.

Ricky Bahl ufffd reportedly has a number of scenes where Singh appears topless.
