The trailer of Simmba, the action cop drama from Rohit Shetty Picturez and Dharma Productions starring the mercurial Ranveer Singh and ravishing Sara Ali Khan, is just out and social media is going ooh and aah over what they just saw in the exciting, edge-of-the-seat 2.54 minutes promo.
And what did they see? They saw Ranveer, wild and unleashed, prowling and growling like a proud lion king in his first avatar as a police officer, and they saw Bollywood’s next big thing Sara in only her second outing on screen, promising to deliver what looks like 2018’s closing blockbuster.

Rohit, who co-produced Simmba with Karan Johar and also directed the film, has produced a twist at the end of the film that he is not unafraid to reveal in the trailer. It shows Ranveer, as ACP Sangram Bhalerao, being captured by the baddies and put through the CIA patented “waterboarding” torture technique. When suddenly the doors burst open and crashing in to his rescue in his police jeep wearing his uniform khakis is Rohit’s eternal cop hero – the all mighty Singham!

For cine goers, this has to be the big treat of 2018 – the sharing of screen space by two of Rohit’s super action heroes – Ajay Devgn as Singham and Ranveer Singh as Simmba. Not since Hollywood’s Dawn of Justice in 2016, where American super heroes Batman and Superman come together on screen, has anything like this been attempted. It’s a first in Bollywood. And something of the magnitude and daring that only Rohit would attempt. He has the courage of his convictions and says, “I am not that kind of director who wants to hide things!”

So Simmba has the squeaky clean, tough-as-nails super cop Singham and the roguish, devil-may-care new man in khaki Simmba who join forces to become the nemesis of gangsters, the underworld and all scum of society. Ajay as Singham is gritty and poker-faced, like chilled steel in the face of all heat; whereas Ranveer as Simmba is outrageous, fun-and-games and volatile! Lucky Sara Ali Khan gets to kill on screen with two exciting birds.
