It’s incredible to work with Sanjay Dutt: Ranbir Kapoor

New Delhi, June 27 Superstar Ranbir Kapoor, is playing a larger than life quintessential Hindi film hero in the action entertainer ‘Shamshera’.
Ranbir, who is coming to the big screen four years after he delivered the blockbuster ‘Sanju’, is relishing the casting coup in the film that pits him against Sanjay Dutt!
Sanjay, who has delivered some of the most epic villains on screen, is thrilled to give us a more evil, merciless, cold-hearted brute force of nature, Shuddh Singh in ‘Shamshera’. Sanjay Dutt vs Ranbir Kapoor makes ‘Shamshera’ a big screen spectacle to watch out for.
Ranbir said in a statement, “It’s amazing that Sanjay Dutt is my antagonist! When I was 10 or 11, I had Sanjay Dutt’s poster in my cupboard. Then eventually getting to play him in a biopic directed by Rajkumar Hirani was a dream come true. And finally getting an opportunity to work with him, to act with him, where I am the protagonist and he is the antagonist, it’s incredible! Sanjay Dutt has given us some epic villains with his brilliant acting performances and people are going to love him as Shuddh Singh in Shamshera!”
He said that Sanjay’s presence in the film as an antagonist has made Shamshera an anticipated project amongst audiences.
“I have so much love for him and so much respect for him. He is such an amazing actor. You know even though he has played the antagonist in so many films, he still makes it different, he still makes it believable. It goes back to the old notion that a hero will only be impactful if the villain has a looming presence and I don’t think there is any actor in the Indian film industry who has the presence that Sanjay Dutt has on screen,” added Ranbir.
Directed by Karan Malhotra, this action extravaganza has been produced by Aditya Chopra and is set to release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on July 22.
