Fans react to Shamshera poster leak

Shamshera is a high-octane entertainer that is set in the heartland of India. Apart from Kapoor, the movie also stars Sanjay Dutt as Ranbir's arch-enemy. Vaani is paired opposite Ranbir and will be seen as the most sought-after travelling performer in the country. 

The period drama faced several hiccups owing to the COVID pandemic. Earlier, it was slated for a 2020 release but got delayed. Set in 1800, the plot of the film is said to revolve around a dacoit tribe that is fighting for its rights and independence from the British. The new viral poster shows Ranbir in a rough look with a long and untidy beard and hair with a robe wrapped around his body. While impressing all with his intense looks, he is seen carrying an axe. 

Soon after the poster went viral, his fans were quick to storm the internet while expressing their curiosity to catch more updates about the film. One Twitter user shared the post and pinned his interest in the same. "This looks so fantastic this is going to be a massive hit and Ranbir fans will be so happy for this," the user wrote. Another user praised Ranbir's looks and commented, "A Legend Will Rise...Here comes Ranbir Kapoor In & As Shamshera." A third user echoed similar sentiments and wrote, "I have no words. My Man pulling it." 

Meanwhile, Ranbir has already created a strong buzz with his role in the upcoming Ayan Mukerji directorial Brahmastra which was highlighted in the latest trailer release. Giving a tough competition to Hollywood's fantasy epics, the trailer sets the tone for the film with visually stunning moments. With fans just enjoying the spectacular extravaganza, they have also pinned their hope on the film. Fans can experience Shiva’s adventures as he journeys into the world of Astras and in turn discovers his destiny as the DIVINE HERO of the universe. Brahmastra releases on September 9 in theatres.
