In ‘Shamshera’, a ‘masala potboiler’ and Ranbir Kapoor as ‘never seen before’ #IndiaNEWS
Once upon a time in the fictional kingdom of Kaza in British India, there was the brave bandit Shamshera. His son Balli, a frivolous thief born in Kaza prison, is his lookalike but the apple has fallen far from the tree. Both are played by Ranbir Kapoor in Karan Malhotra’s July 22 release Shamshera. The story begins in 1871, when the British government passed the Criminal Tribes Act. Sanjay Dutt plays Shuddh Singh, a nasty policeman who clashes with Balli. The cast includes Vaani Kapoor and Saurabh Shukla. Shamshera, whose story is credited to Neelesh Mishra and Khila Bisht, was pitched by producer Aditya Chopra to Malhotra, who turned it into a script with his wife, Ekta Pathak Malhotra. The sub-title “Karam se dacait, dharam se azad� (Bandit by duty, free by nature) summarises the film’s approach, Malhotra said.The visual effects-heavy period drama was filmed in Mumbai and Ladakh’s Nubra valley in 2020. “Shamshera is a masala potboiler,� Malhotra told Scroll.in. “It’s not a historical or a social cause film. It’s a period fiction made with the hope that it makes the audience laugh, cry, get angry and celebrate, only to return to the theatre and watch it again.�
