Ranveer Singh received career honour for his contribution to cinema at the third edition of the Red Sea International Film Festival and thanked the “master of transformation”, Hollywood actor Johnny Depp, in his acceptance speech.  He was one of the three recipients of this year’s award at the Jeddah-based film gala, and was presented the gong by Hollywood star Sharon Stone. “One of my screen idols is in the house. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Johnny Depp. My good sir, I have followed your work since Edward Scissorhands and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. What an honour to be receiving this award in your presence. Thank you for everything you have unknowingly taught me about the craft, sir,” he said.
