Ranveer Singh unites with Shankar for the biggest collaboration of the year

Shankar is a well known director of Tamil film industry. His blockbuster film Anniyan will no w be remade in Hindi by him again and he will be directing Ranveer Singh for the official adaptation. He plans to mount the movie on a gigantic cinematic canvas and has promised to give us a never seen before spectacle of the time.

This yet untitled project is one of the  biggest collaboration of the year and was announced around the time of Baisakhi in North India and Puthandu in Tamil Nadu, which marks the Hindu New Year celebrations of India. This anticipated project is expected to go on floors in Mid 2022. God Bless Entertainment is co-producing the film, with its music available on Saregama.

The director expressed his excitement and said, “For it to be made into a Hindi film, Anniyan needed a maverick, charismatic showman like no other to play the part. I found this in the mercurial Ranveer Singh because he is a once-in-a-generation actor who has shown us that he can immortalise a character through his stellar performance. I’m thrilled to make Anniyan for the pan-Indian audience and I’m confident that this powerful story will strike a chord in the hearts of all. In Dr. Gada, Ranveer and I have found an ideal producer who believes in the vision we have to change the nativity of content for audiences across the country.”

Superstar Ranveer says, “I am blessed to have this opportunity to be a part of the spectacular cinematic vision of Shankar sir. He is an exception to the norm, a true disruptor who has shown us that no vision is large enough to achieve on screen. I had always hoped and dreamed that I would get a chance to collaborate with him, and I have a strong feeling that we will create magic together. To lead a film like Anniyan is a dream come true for any artiste. Vikram Sir, one of our country’s finest talents, an artiste who I hugely admire, gave a colossal performance in the original, one that can never be matched. I can only hope that my interpretation and rendition of the part also connects with audiences in the same way. It’s undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime performance piece, and I am ready to give this role every single ounce of my being. Shankar Sir is a genius filmmaker and a true visionary. Words don’t do justice to just how excited I am at the prospect of being directed by him”
