It’s official! Sara Ali Khan will be the leading lady opposite Ranveer Singh in Dharma Productions’ upcoming film Simmba directed by Rohit Shetty. There was a lot of speculation going around ever since the first poster of Simmba was released, on who would be the heroine cast opposite Ranveer Singh in this one.
While names like Priya Prakash Varrier were also doing the rounds, the makers have zeroed in on Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s daughter for the heroine’s role. Sara Ali Khan is currently working in Kedarnath directed by Abhishek Kapoor opposite Sushant Singh Rajput, but the film is reportedly in trouble after a tiff between the director and producers.
Simmba is being co-produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, Rohit Shetty’s RS Picturez and Reliance Entertainment. The film has already got a release date, which is 28 December 2018. Ranveer plays a cop by the name of Sangram Bhalerao, who also goes by the nickname of Simmba in the film.
