Ranbir Kapoor has had his share of coming of age stories and is now looking forward to Shamshera, which the actor believes, is quite a departure for him. Directed by Karan Malhotra, the action-drama is produced by Yash Raj Films and also features Sanjay Dutt as an antagonist.

In this film, Ranbir will be seen in a role of dacoit. "Shamshera is not a story of a daaku, but a film based in the 1800s, it is about a dacoit tribe who are fighting for their right and independence from the British. There was a great story of heroism, a story rooted in our country which actually happened back then," Ranbir told PTI.
