Ranveer Singh took to social media to share an exciting behind-the-scenes look at his upcoming film Simmba. He captioned it: “Baap of action... back in action”, referring to director Rohit Shetty, who is seen in the video showing Ranveer how to pull off some slick action moves in style. Check it out here.
In Simmba, Ranveer will be seen playing flamboyant policeman Sangram Bhalerao. It also stars Sara Ali Khan and Sonu Sood.
The crew had released another clip of the action on set earlier this year.
"Simmba is a full blown masala film. It's an entertainer. I believe masala films are the holy grail of mainstream Hindi films. In terms of genre, it is the king of all genres," Ranveer told IANS.
“I am very lucky and I am very blessed that I am under the guidance of the king of the genre. Rohit Shetty is the gold standard in the masala film genre. I am making a foray into this genre in his film so it could not get any better. It’s highly entertaining.”Ranveer Singh, Actor
Produced by Karan Johar and Reliance Entertainment, Simmba is scheduled to hit the screens on 28 December.
Ranveer says there are "exciting action sequences and great songs" in the film.
“And a very substantial story that’s driving the narrative of the film. There is intense drama. There are comedic bits. Just what you expect that a mainstream Hindi audience loves is that all these flavours come into one film and that is one man who crafts it so beautifully, Rohit Shetty. So, we are hoping to set a new benchmark for this genre.”
The actor made his debut in 2010 with the film Band Baaja Baaraat as a raw Delhi boy.
He has proved his mettle in the various roles in films like Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, Lootera, Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela, Gunday, Dil Dhadakne Do, Bajirao Mastani and added more power to his star status with Padmaavat.
