The
Makers
Pitted
Sanjay
Dutt
Against
Ranbir
Kapoor
For
This
Reason
Director
Karan
Malhotra
says,
"Shamshera
is
a
highly
ferocious
and
fearless
character
in
the
film.
Therefore
his
nemesis,
the
villain
had
to
be
even
more
fierce
and
monumental
in
every
aspect.
Who's
better
than
Sanjay
Sir
to
give
us
that
impact
on
screen."
Sanjay
Dutt's
First
Film
With
YRF
Interestingly,
Shamshera
will
be
Sanjay's
first
ever
film
with
YRF.
Speaking
about
it
the
actor
says,
"My
father
and
Yash
uncle
were
very
close
friends
and
now
that
I'm
doing
my
first
YRF
film,
it
is
an
extremely
emotional
moment
for
me.
When
I
heard
Karan's
idea
to
pit
Ranbir
against
me,
I
thought
it
was
just
brilliant.
I'm
looking
forward
to
shooting
this
incredibly
exciting
film,
my
second
with
the
hugely
talented
Karan
Malhotra."
Ranbir
Turns
An
Action
Hero
Expressing
his
excitement
over
the
film,
Ranbir
said,
"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
Is
Something
Out
Of
His
Comfort
Zone
"Shamshera
allows
me
to
do
everything
that
I
had
imagined
and
it's
a
very
exciting
project
for
me.
Karan
is
going
to
take
me
completely
out
of
my
comfort
zone
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
this
challenge."
