After playing the antagonist in the period drama, Padmaavat, Ranveer Singh is going complete masala for his role in his upcoming movie, Simmba. Directed by Rohit Shetty, the movie is an official remake of the Telugu film, Temper, that had Jr NTR in the lead. For the first time in his career, Ranveer Singh is playing a cop in the movie, that also has Sara Ali Khan as the female lead.

The makers of the masala entertainer have released a new still from the movie, that has Ranveer Singh sitting on the steps and giving an angry stare to the camera. We wonder who raised Ranveer Singh's 'temper' in the picture and knowing Rohit Shetty and his movies, we are sure a few cars are going to get destroyed as a result. We also wonder when they will show glimpses of Sara Ali Khan from the movie.

Ranveer Singh is getting bulked up to look the role of the tough cop. In an interview with IANS, Ranveer revealed how excited he was working with Rohit Shetty again. He said, “I feel like I have been honest with my work and I have actually earned the distinction of being Rohit Shetty leading man. I am very excited about that. The kind of films I grew up too and the kind of film that reaches out to a broad spectrum of audience, I am very lucky to have that film coming up.” Earlier, Rohit and he has collaborated for a short film for a noodle brand.

Simmba, which is produced by Rohit Shetty and Karan Johar, is scheduled to release on December 28.
