The makers of

Simmba has finally got a release date. Ranveer Singh and S
ara Ali Khan's Simmba will hit theatres on December 28, 2018. Six months after the release of the first poster featuring Ranveer, the shooting for the film kick started on Wednesday in Ramoji City in Hyderabad.
Simmba will witness the collaboration of director Rohit Shetty and producer Karan Johar for the very first time. Karan shared a photo from the sets of
Simmba featuring himself, Ranveer Singh, Sara Ali Khan, Rohit Shetty and wrote: "Winter just got hotter!!!! This December 28th,2018!!!!
Simmba directed by Rohit Shetty starring Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan."
Karan Johar also shared a fun video from the sets of
Simmba. The video is proof that the film is going to be one crazy fun ride. Ranveer Singh in the video is seen introducing himself as Sangram Bhalerao in Marathi (his character from the film), when Rohit Shetty barges into the frame and chides him saying
Pagal ho gaya hai kya, film ka dialogue kyun bol raha hai. Sara Ali Khan enters the frame enquiring whether it is the sets of
Singham 3. Karan Johar enters at the end announcing the release date of the film. It's just day one and team
Simmba appears to be having hell lot fun.
Karan Johar had earlier shared the first poster of the film and introduced Ranveer Singh as
Simmba.
Ranveer Singh is essaying the role of a cop in the film but nothing much is known about Sara Ali Khan's character in the film except the fact that the actress plays Sangram Bhalerao's love interest.
In an interview to IANS, Rohit Shetty had said that he could have never imagine making
Simmba without Ranveer Singh. "I couldn't have imagined making
Simmba if not for Ranveer Singh, because he is the only actor who has the strength to pull out such a character," Rohit Shetty said.
"This is the first time we will see Ranveer playing a policeman in an action film. There are certain colourful elements in the character of Simmba that Ranveer also has. So I really had to change my writing if Ranveer would have said 'no' to my film," IANS quoted the filmmaker saying.
Simmba is the Hindi remake of the Telugu film
Temper which featured N T Rama Rao Junior as a hot-headed corrupt cop who befriends a gang lord.
