Ranbir Kapoor's look from Shamshera Leaked; netizens call him ‘Thor of Bollywood’

A poster of Ranbir Kapoor in his look from his much-anticipated film Shamshera has been leaked. It has been doing the rounds on the internet all through Saturday.

Filming for the Yash Raj Films’ venture is said to have wrapped up in September 2020 and the film is scheduled for a July release.


The poster shows Ranbir in a long flowing beard, holding an axe. “Karam Se Dacait, Dharam Se Azaad," the poster reads.

Soon after the poster was leaked, Yash Raj Films issued a statement mentioning they now need to rejig their plan for the release of the trailer. “We have been monitoring this situation since morning. There has been a leak and it’s quite unfortunate. Ranbir is coming back to the big screen after 4 years and we wanted to guard Ranbir’s look till people see the trailer because we were aware that it would be the biggest talking point. We will now need to rejig our entire plan in the run-up to the trailer launch. We should have more updates to share in the next two days,” the statement read as quoted by an Indian publication.

However, it has still got fans excited with many applauding Ranbir’s different look in the film.

Praising Shamshera’s leaked poster, one of the social media users called Ranbir ‘Thor of Bollywood’.

Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor is also gearing up for the release of his much-delayed film Brahmastra. The film also stars Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy among others. It is due on September 9.

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
