Ranbir Kapoor to star in and as 'Shamshera'
Mumbai

Actor Ranbir Kapoor will go all fierce and intense for the
upcoming action-adventure film "Shamshera", which marks his comeback to the Yash
Raj Films (YRF) banner after nine years.
A teaser of the project shows
Ranbir leading an army of dacoits, and delivering the punch line of the film in
a husky voice: "Karam se dacait, dharam se azaad".
"'Shamshera' is
exactly the film I was looking for. While growing up watching Hindi commercial
cinema, I had an image of what a film hero should be doing. 'Shamshera' allows
me to do everything that I had imagined and it's a very exciting project for
me," Ranbir said in a statement.
The film is part of YRF's three-movie
deal with Karan Malhotra, who directed "Agneepath" and "Brothers".
"Karan
is going to take me completely out of my comfort zone and I'm looking forward to
this challenge," Ranbir said of the high-octane adventure which is set in the
heartland of India.
"Shamshera" is set to go on the floors at the end of
this year and shooting will wrap up by mid 2019.
Ranbir's last two
outings with YRF were "Bachna Ae Haseeno" and "Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The
Year".
