Ranveer Singh to begin training for high octane action sequences in Simmba

Ranveer Singh is a versatile actor whose performance in varied genres of films is commendable. Currently, Ranveer Singh is shooting for Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy. Post Gully Boy, Ranveer will start shooting for Rohit Shetty’s Simmba. The film requires him to play a badass cop. Ranveer will soon begin the training for the action sequences in the film.

A source informed a leading Indian daily, “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.”


Talking about the film, Rohit Shetty had earlier said to a leading Indian daily, “It’s a hardcore commercial action film that neither Ranveer nor I have done before. We are working on the final draft at the moment and it goes on the floors by mid-next year. We have bought the rights of the South film Temper from which our film is inspired.”

In an interview with a leading Indian daily, Ranveer spoke about how excited he is to work on Simmba, he said, “It’s a full on masala entertainer, which is something I have been wanting to do for such a long time. It’s got all the ingredients — action, comedy, drama, romance, Songs. All the good stuff that goes into a Rohit Shetty film.”

Besides Gully Boy and Simmba, Ranveer Singh will also be seen in Kapil Dev's biopic 83.
