Ranbir's 'Shamshera' will release on June 25
Meanwhile, Ranbir's much-anticipated film Shamshera will release on June 25. The movie marks his return to the silver screen after a hiatus.
The Kapoor scion was last seen in Rajkumar Hirani's Sanju that had released in 2018.
He also has Brahmastra in the pipeline. The movie, helmed by Ayan Mukerji, is the first time Ranbir is collaborating with his lady love Alia Bhatt.
Looking back
Vanga's 'Kabir Singh' had invited criticism
It's worth mentioning that Vanga's directorial debut in Bollywood had garnered criticism for glorifying violence.
The criticism notwithstanding, the 2019 movie, featuring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Ali Advani, went on to mint Rs. 278.24 crore across India, reports Bollywood Hungama.
Arjun Reddy had also invited similar criticism but Vanga remained undeterred. "They (the critics) hate me," he had quipped once.
Release dates
After a year of lull, Bollywood seems back in business
Recently, Bollywood has been announcing a slew of release dates, thanks to the relaxations given.
The industry suffered huge losses last year due to the outbreak of coronavirus. To recall, India had gone into a strict lockdown in March 2020, affecting cinema halls, shooting, and related activities.
Several filmmakers had then turned to OTT platforms to entertain viewers.
