Ranbir Kapoor to kick off 'Shamshera' shoot tomorrow

The shoot of Yash Raj Films’ big-ticket action flick, Shamshera, which pits Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt against each other on the big screen, kicks off tomorrow in Mumbai. The late Yash Chopra started a tradition at YRF, where he invited all the cast and crew members of a movie that would go on floors for a customary pooja. This tradition continues even today.

After Hrs has exclusive information that the pooja for Shamshera was attended by Ranbir, Vaani Kapoor, who plays his love interest and director Karan Malhotra. Sanjay couldn’t attend the ceremony as he was busy with prior commitments. 

The Sanju actor had delivered his first hit with the banner’s Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008) and garnered critical acclaim for his performance in Rocket Singh: Salesman of The Year (2009). After nine long years, he is collaborating with the studio again for this desi, masala entertainer. Karan says, “It was amazing to have Shamshera’s cast and crew under one roof before we dive into shooting our film. All of us are excited to start this journey.”

The high-octane adventure, which is set in the heartland of India, will not only have jaw-dropping action sequences, but also features Ranbir in a never-seen-before avatar. The film’s shoot will wrap by mid-2019.
