About Shamshera Movie

Shamshera is a Hindi period action drama produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films and directed by Karan Malhotra. The film features Ranbir Kapoor in a dual role, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Vaani Kapoor, Ronit Roy, and Saurabh Shukla.

This marked Ranbir Kapoor’s return to the big screen after a four-year break, primarily due to delays caused by the making of this film and his other major project, Brahmāstra, both of which were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The story of Shamshera was originally conceived by Khila Bisht, a college friend of Neelesh Misra, who co-wrote the screenplay.

Yash Raj Films officially introduced Shamshera in May 2018 through a motion poster, revealing Ranbir Kapoor as the titular character. Sanjay Dutt was cast in a significant role, while Vaani Kapoor was brought on as the female lead. To prepare for her character, Vaani Kapoor underwent professional training in Kathak, as she portrays a dancer in the film.

Principal photography began in December 2018. A large-scale fort set was constructed at Film City, Goregaon, taking two months and the efforts of nearly 300 workers. The filming process concluded in September 2020.

Shamshera was released in cinemas on 22 July 2022. Initially slated for a theatrical release on 20 December 2019, the film faced multiple delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was first rescheduled to 25 June 2021, but the second wave of the pandemic led to another postponement to 18 March 2022. However, due to the spread of the Omicron variant, the release was further delayed before finally hitting theaters on 22 July 2022. The film was released in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, including IMAX screenings.

The digital streaming rights were acquired by Amazon Prime Video, where Shamshera premiered on 19 August 2022 in Hindi, along with its Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions.
