Ranveer Singh in a Shankar-Directed Film..

The recent blockbuster ‘Dhurandar’ has taken Ranveer Singh’s career to a new level. The film gave him his first-ever massive box office success and greatly boosted his star image. After this hit, there is strong buzz that Ranveer will be very careful while selecting his next projects. In this situation, reports about him playing the lead role in director Shankar’s upcoming film have grabbed a lot of attention.

Director Shankar is known for making big-budget films like Gentleman, Indian, Anniyan(aparichithudu), Shivaji and Robot. However, his recent films failed to meet expectations, which affected his success rate. This has raised curiosity about what project he will take up next. Meanwhile, Shankar’s long-time dream project ‘Velpari’, based on a historical backdrop, is said to be back on track.

As per industry rumors, the film may be produced by Mumbai-based Pen Studios and actors Chiyaan Vikram and Ranveer Singh could be part of the cast. Earlier, Shankar had announced a Hindi remake of Anniyan(aparichithudu) with Ranveer, but the project did not move forward. With Ranveer’s popularity rising after Dhurandar and Shankar looking for a strong comeback, it remains to be seen whether this collaboration will actually happen.
