ALWAYS WANTED TO BE AN ACTION HERO,
LUCKY TO BE COLLABORATING WITH ROHIT
SHETTY ON SIMMBA
Ranveer is currently prepping up for his film
Simmba, and his beefed up frame for the
role is talk of the town these days. Earlier,
talking about the film, Ranveer had said,
"My home territory is Simmba' which is (full
of) herogiri. It is something that I always
wanted be, which is an action hero. As a kid
you fantasize about those larger-than-life
characters, dialogues, big action sequences,
muscles and all. With this film, we are clear
that we are making a high octane, front-
footed entertainer, which is big on comedy,
drama and romance. It is a quintessential
entertainer.
The actor also spoke highly about Rohit
Shetty and said, "I feel lucky to be
collaborating with him. I admire and
respect him. There is nobody who does this
genre better than him. It is sad that some of
the exceptional work that he does in terms
of craft goes unnoticed because he does
these big commercial films. I have been
watching his work closely. His craft is
matchless, like how he stages a scene... He
is an immensely gifted filmmaker. Simmba
is slated to release on December 28, 2018.
