Yash Raj Films has dropped the teaser of Shamshera, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt. The highly-anticipated period thriller is directed by Karan Malhotra and is set to hit the theatres on July 22, 2022. With the trailer set to release on June 24, here’s a peek at what we know so far.
With a punchy teaser featuring a series of gritty shots, Shamshera has established itself as a hair-raising thriller. The movie’s production began in 2018 and was riddled with pandemic-related delays until filming finally wrapped in September 2020. Helmed by Agneepath director Karan Malhotra, the entertainer will also see Befikre actress Vani Kapoor play the lead role while Sanjay Dutt dons the antagonist’s cape.
