Cirkus: Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty ready for post-production

Rohit Shetty and Ranveer Singh

Ranveer Singh is shooting for the final schedule of Rohit Shetty's Cirkus. As the comic caper is loaded with special effects, the filmmaker is keen that post-production start immediately. Shetty has created a fairy tale world, set in the early '70s in the film, which sees Singh play a double role to raise the laughter quotient.

The film, which is said to be an adaptation of the Shakespearean play 'The Comedy of Errors', also stars Pooja Hegde, Jacqueline Fernandez, Varun Sharma, Johny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, among others.

Shetty, who will be directing and producing 'Cirkus', has collaborated with Bhushan Kumar for the first time for this flick. The movie which will see Ranveer Singh opting for a double role for the first time is expected to get a theatrical release this year.

"We were delighted to return to shooting high-octane action. Rohit sir was joking that since a long time, he had been itching to shoot an elaborate action sequence, complete with cars blowing up and guns being fired. I shared his sentiment," said Singh, always game for a round of thrills.

Having previously shot the 2018 cop caper and currently filming Cirkus with Shetty, the actor is well-aware of his penchant for adrenaline-pumping stunts that leave an impact on the audience. "The last time we shot action together was during the climax of Sooryavanshi [where Singh makes a cameo]. Bahut time se action ka keeda kaat raha tha hum dono ko!"
