Ranveer Singh as Simmba

Yesterday, Ranveer Singh had posted on his social media that something notorious is going to be announced today and while we kept on wondering as to what could it be, turns out the movie is a remake of the 2015 Telugu action flick ‘Temper’. Titled ‘Simmba’, the first look of the same has been shared by the makers and Ranveer Singh. In the poster, we see Ranveer in the garb of a cop and it introduces us to his character of ‘Simmba’ in the movie. He plays a Maharashtrian as his full name is Sangram Bhalerao. Sharing the first look, Ranveer has captioned it as, “SANGRAM BHALERAO aka #Simmba !!!! #RohitShetty @karanjohar @RelianceEnt @DharmaMovies @RSPicturez”

The poster depicts Ranveer as a ‘notorious’ police officer and he seems like a tapori from the way he is wearing his uniform. Those bright red sunglasses and the silver chain just add to his tapori style. (Also Read: Ranveer Singh’s winter SWIM is giving us CHILLS. View Pics)

This movie also brings about the first time association of Karan Johar and Rohit Shetty. In fact, it’s the first time that Ranveer Singh is teaming up with these esteemed filmmakers. Karan who is also the producer of the movie with Rohit took to his social media and shared the poster with the caption, “28th December 2018!! ROHIT SHETTY will be back!!!! RANVEER SINGH as #SIMMBA”.

Seems like it’s going to be an eventful Christmas next year too as Shah Rukh Khan and Aanand L Rai’s untitled movie releases on Dec 21 and ‘Simmba’ releases on Dec 28, 2018.

Talking of his other projects, Ranveer’s ‘Padmavati’ has been mired in several controversies and the new release date is yet to be announced. Apart from that, he will be seen in Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Gully Boy’ with Alia Bhatt.
