Kanpur Wale Khuranas is headlined by Sunil Grover, his first show as lead after Mad In India, which was a debacle. Here's the promo of Kanpur Wale Khuranas featuring Ranveer Singh:
Simmba is Ranveer's first release after his wedding to actress Deepika Padukone. Simmba is the story of a corrupt cop who turns his life around after a life-altering event.

Aankh Maare is the revamped version of a song of the same name, which featured in 1996 film Tere Mere Sapne.
