Yesterday
(June
24,
2022),
the
trailer
of
Ranbir
Kapoor-starrer
Shamshera
got
unveiled
on
YouTube,
and
netizens
were
enthralled
to
see
the
actor
in
a
double
role.
During
the
trailer
launch
of
the
film,
when
Ranbir
was
asked
to
share
his
experience
of
portraying
the
role
of
both
father
and
son
in
the
film,
he
said
that
he
had
to
convince
producer
Aditya
Chopra
and
director
Karan
Malhotra
to
let
him
do
the
double
role.
Ranbir
said,
"When
the
film
was
narrated
to
me,
it
wasn't
really
offered
to
me
as
a
double
role.
But
when
I
heard
the
story,
my
immediate
response
to
Aditya
Chopra
and
Karan
Malhotra
was
that
'let
me
play
the
father
also,
because
it
is
such
a
great
role.
It
is
such
an
interesting,
juicy
part
for
an
actor
to
play'.
Then,
I
really
had
to
convince
Adi
and
Karan."
The
actor
further
revealed
that
after
Karan
did
a
couple
of
look
tests,
he
got
convinced
that
Ranbir
would
be
apt
for
both
the
roles.
"So,
initially
it
wasn't
offered
to
me
but
it
hooked
me
thoroughly
as
an
actor.
They
were
two
unique
characters
and
for
an
actor
like
me,
to
play
two
distinctive
characters
and
make
them
different
was
very
challenging
and
very
exciting
for
me," added
Kapoor.
Shamshera
also
stars
Sanjay
Dutt
and
Vaani
Kapoor
in
the
lead
roles.
The
film
is
set
for
a
theatrical
release
in
Hindi,
Tamil
and
Telugu
on
July
22,
2022.
Apart
from
Shamshera,
Ranbir
also
has
Ayan
Mukerji's
Brahmastra
and
Luv
Ranjan's
untitled
next
in
his
kitty.
