Ranveer Singh post Sanjay Leela Bhansali's
magnum opus Padmaavat has an
interesting line-up of films for 2018-19. The
actor has two highly anticipated films in the
works Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy and Rohit
Shetty's Simmba. He will star opposite Alia
Bhatt in Gully Boy and will team up with
Sara Ali Khan in Simmba. He is also slated to
be a part of Kabir Khan's '83 based on the
life of former cricketer Kapil Dev. Now, the
news is coming in that the actor will also be
seen in the next directorial venture of
Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.
The Rang De Basanti director is planning
two films one is based on Kabaddi and
the other is an emotional drama about
father-son relationship. Reportedly, Ranveer
is in talks with the director to star in one of
these films. A leading daily reported,
"Ranveer and Rakeysh met and discussed
about working together. The filmmaker has
bounced off the ideas to Ranveer, but
nothing has been locked yet. They are
going to have a few more meetings before
they zero in on the film. The actor recently
met the director at his office and pictures of
the meet soon started doing the rounds of
the internet as the buzz was strong that the
two will be collaborating soon for a project.

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.
