Bollywood star Ranveer Singh set the temperature soaring through the roof by dropping shirtless pictures of him, displaying his washboard abs. 

The `Padmaavat` actor took to his Instagram handle and posted a series of pictures in which he could be seen showcasing his muscular and chiselled physique.

In the caption, Ranveer just wrote, `Teaser`, which could be a hint for an upcoming project that he might be prepping for. The social media post amassed more than a lakh likes within half an hour of being shared.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Ranveer had recently stated that he doesn`t want to get typecast in the industry and among audiences. The actor also shared that he`s inspired by actors like Daniel Day-Lewis.

He said, "I`m deeply inspired by the shape-shifting, chameleon-like actors across the world like Daniel Day-Lewis. So, I look forward to metamorphosis on the big screen with every film. I have done this since my first time to my last release 83, in which I became the legendary Kapil Dev." Ranveer will be next seen in YRF`s `Jayeshbhai Jordaar`, Shankar`s remake of his blockbuster `Anniyan`, Rohit Shetty`s `Cirkus` and Karan Johar`s `Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani`.
