Ranveer Singh’s much awaited Simmba, is about to go on the floor very soon. The film will be directed by the king of comedy as well as action – Rohit Shetty.
As of now, Ranveer is busy with shooting for Gully Boy along with Alia Bhatt, which is being directed by Zoya Akhthar. He is expected to start with Simmba’s shooting as soon as the shoot of Gully Boy is wrapped up.
Gully Boy, is loosely based on the lives of two well known rappers, who made it big in the world of Hip Hop and Rap, by mere passion and interest. One of them is Divine, whose songs are widely sung and extremely popular among the youth today.
In Simmba, Ranveer will play the role of a cop – Sangram Bhalerao.
“Ranveer and Rohit met recently at the filmmaker’s office for a four-hour narration after which the duo bounced ideas off each other. Ranveer is scheduled to starting filming Simmba right after he wraps up Gully Boy in April. It will be a mad, fun, and entertaining ride and he’s excited to finally work with Rohit,” a source informed Mumbai Mirror.
Ranveer shared the following picture on his Instagram handle few hours back:

Ranveer, when question about the film earlier, had told IANS, “I feel like I have been honest with my work and I have actually earned the distinction of being Rohit Shetty leading man. I am very excited about that. The kind of films I grew up too and the kind of film that reaches out to a broad spectrum of audience, I am very lucky to have that film coming up.”
Rohit on the other hand told PTI, “This will always happen. Whenever a cop film will be made people will either draw comparisons with Dabangg or Singham. If the look and part is serious then Singham, if entertaining then Chulbul Pandey. Our cop (Ranveer) is not a Chulbul Pandey kind of character,” when questioned about the extend of similarities between Ranveer’s character in Simmba and Ajay Devgn’s character in the Singham series.
Ranveer Singh’s last stint in the magnum opus ‘Padmaavat’, has left everyone mesmerized. His fans can’t wait to see what the actor has in store for them to see and neither can we!
