Ranveer Singh, after a month-long wedding celebration with wife Deepika Padukone, is back in action for his upcoming action-comedy Simmba under the banner of action king Rohit Shetty. The film helmed by Rohit also features debutante Sara Ali Khan who recently made a mind-blowing entry to the industry with Abhishek Kapoor's Kedarnath. Ranveer in a long promotional day opened up about Simmba, Rohit Shetty and how he 'earned' the film.
"We did an ad together after which Rohit offered me this film. No one knows this space better than him. You have to earn a Rohit Shetty film. I hope Simmba becomes what we are hoping for it to become, and may there be a string of sequels to it," said Singh of the action comedy that sees him as an unscrupulous cop, Sangram Bhalerao.

It's wasn't surprising when Singh said that he jumped aboard as soon as Shetty mentioned the film. "When I was dubbing for our ad, Rohit said, 'I have a story for you.' I said yes, without pausing to think about it. He gave me a free hand to build this character.
You can't question Rohit's films' entertainment value; he has a flair for films mounted on a large scale. His cinematic language is audience-friendly. That's why he has the most consistent track record amongst his peers."
Singh also pointed out how the first song of his upcoming film - Aankh Marey - is already a chartbuster. "I have had some big songs in the past, be it Khalibali, Tune Maari Entriyaan or Tattad Tattad. But this one has blown up. It is important for a mainstream actor to have such songs in his repertoire."
With Singh's film releasing in just 10 days, we're wondering what new record will it set this time as it has a double power of RohitxRanveer!
