Rohit Shetty

Buzz is that the shoot of Rohit Shetty's Simmba starring Ranveer Singh has been delayed. The actor was slated to kickstart the remake of the Telugu film Temper (2015) this month. But the action flick will now roll in June. It is said that Ranveer's recent shoulder injury has led to the postponement of the shooting schedule. Or is there more to it?

A few days ago, sharing his excitement working for the first time with Rohit Shetty, who is considered king of the masala genre, Ranveer said, "Simmba is my first collaboration with Rohit Shetty which I know people are really excited about and me more than anyone to be diving into the masala genre with king of the genre. It is an incredible opportunity that I am extremely excited to be commencing... shooting in about a month's time. I will start prep for that film from tomorrow..."
