'Cirkus': First look, star-studded cast, release date, and more
What's the story
Rohit Shetty finally released the first look of his comedy-drama Cirkus. And, if a film can be judged by its poster, then Cirkus sure looks like it packs a ton of fun. Cirkus stars Ranveer Singh in the lead, marking his third collaboration with Shetty after Simmba and Sooryavanshi. It is expected to release on December 23, 2022, targeting the lucrative date of Christmas.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Shetty is on a roll. After giving us Sooryavanshi last year, he is making a cop web series, Indian Police Force, while co-producing a biopic on super-cop Rakesh Maria. He gained recognition after his second outing—Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, and since then, things have only looked up for the director. We also look forward to seeing Singh in a double role for the first time!
Poster
Here's what Shetty wrote in his post
The noted filmmaker shared the poster online on Monday. The caption read, "It's time to bring our audience back to the cinemas once again. Golmaal released 16 years ago and the love you all gave me made me what I am today (sic)." "Cirkus is a Christmas gift for you and your family. Kyunki iss Cirkus mein bohot sara Golmaal hai," he concluded.
