According to reports, Ranveer further went on to say that he was very lucky and blessed to have worked under the guidance of the king of that genre, referring to Rohit Shetty. Ranveer reportedly said that Rohit is the gold standard in the masala film genre, the genre in which Singh is foraying into and so it could not get any better, for it is highly entertaining. 

'Simmba' is backed by Karan Johar and Reliance Entertainment and is slated to release on December 28. The film was initially supposed to release on December 21, but the makers deferred the release of the film by a week in order to avert a clash at the box office with Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Zero'.

With a lot of things to watch out for in 'Simmba', Ranveer reportedly said it is a very substantial story that drives the narrative of the film and there are intensely dramatic and comedic bits. Singh further added that the film has just what a mainstream Hindi audience loves, and all of these flavours come into one film and the one man who crafts it so beautifully is Rohit Shetty. Ranveer Singh with 'Simmba' is hoping to set a new benchmark in the genre. The 'Padmaavat' actor also reportedly said that there are exciting action sequences and a great song in the film.
