Rohit Shetty to direct cop drama 'Simmba', starring Ranveer Singh
What's the story
After "Singham", Rohit Shetty is all set to bring another cop drama in "Simmb"', starring Ranveer Singh, but the director says both the storylines are completely different.
"Creating a similar cop character would have been tough. This character is totally opposite of Bajirao Singham, he is notorious, flamboyant, and the energy is totally different," Rohit said.
Here are more details.
Collaboration
Rohit Shetty worked with Ranveer in an advertisement
Shetty, who first worked with Ranveer for an advertisement, says the actor is "a superstar".
Rohit is also full of praise for the leading lady of his upcoming film "Simmba", Sara Ali Khan, the daughter of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, saying she doesn't want to restrict herself to just one genre or one kind of a film.
No pressure
No pressure in directing a star kid: Rohit Shetty
The "Golmaal" director says he doesn't feel the pressure of directing a star kid.
"For me, the pressure is that audience should like the film. Other than that, there is no pressure. We felt Sara suits the character so we went with her," said Shetty.
The film, set in Goa, will go on floors next month for a slated release in December this year.
