In the action film Shamshera, Ranbir Kapoor plays a larger-than-life hero. In the teaser for the much-anticipated visual spectacle, Ranbir, who is returning to the big screen four years after delivering the blockbuster Sanju, has stunned everyone with his tremendous intensity as tribal warlord Shamshera and his son Balli. With his never-before-seen avatars, he pushed fans and spectators into a frenzy on the internet, and the expectation of meeting him is sky-high.
In the second instalment of a three-part candid video series titled RK Tapes, Ranbir talks about his favourite Hindi film idols and how they have impacted his awareness through the years. The star admits that he wanted to be Amitabh Bachchan. When I grew up, Ranbir wanted to be Shah Rukh Khan. Finally, he had to portray Ranbir Kapoor.
In the second episode of The Hindi Film Hero, Ranbir speaks candidly and from the heart.
By the time Ranbir grew up, these Hindi film idols had become his real-life heroes. He was subconsciously influenced by his heroes in everything he did, including how he dressed and spoke. But oddly enough, when he started acting, the actor wasn't picking the kinds of movies that his heroes would. Therefore, even though Ranbir may have pleased his inner actor, he still feels that 12-year-old Ranbir still has a dream to realise.
Ranbir Kapoor's film Shamshera takes place in the mythical city of Kaza, where a warrior tribe is imprisoned, enslaved, and tortured by Shudh Singh, a vicious authoritarian commander. This is the narrative of a man who became a slave, a slave who rose through the ranks to become a leader, and ultimately a legend for his tribe. He battles tirelessly for his tribe's freedom and dignity.
The high-octane, adrenaline-pumping spectacle takes place in the 1800s in India's heartland. It holds the enormous promise of a never-before-seen Ranbir Kapoor in the role of Shamshera. In this enormous casting coup, Sanjay Dutt plays Ranbir's arch-enemy, and his showdown with Ranbir will be one to watch out for, as they will savagely go for each other with no mercy.
Aditya Chopra is producing this action adventure, which will be released on July 22, 2022 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
