Simmba trailer to be unveiled on 3rd December?

After winning our hearts with his splendid performance as cruel Delhi Sultan Alauddin Khilji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Padmaavat (2018), Ranveer Singh will soon surprise us with a totally new avatar in his forthcoming film Simmba.

Singh, who is currently in Italy for his much-talked-about wedding with Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone, plays a corrupt cop in the Rohit Shetty directorial, who has a change of heart after an incident. If insiders are to be believed, the makers are planning to roll out the theatrical trailer of the much-awaited movie on 3rd December.


Yes, if reports are to be believed, then Ranveer Singh will be launching the trailer of his movie just two days after his wedding reception on 1st December, which will see many high-profile people from the industry.

Simmba, helmed by Rohit Shetty, also stars newcomer Sara Ali Khan. The newbie is set to make her acting debut with Abhishek Kapoor’s hotly anticipated movie Kedarnath, which will be releasing two weeks before Simmba.

Produced by Rohit Shetty Pictures and Dharma Productions, Simmba is poised for its theatrical release on 28th December, 2018.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
