Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn’s friendship goes a long way. Out of the 13 films that Rohit has directed, Ajay has featured in 10. Now, they are all set for an association for the 11th time. While Rohit is busy planning Simmba, which stars Ranveer Singh in the title role, we hear that Ajay, too, has a special part to play in it. Reveals our source, “Rohit wanted someone to play a special character, so he decided to approach Ajay, who will have an interesting part in Simmba’s climax. Every time Rohit plans a film, Ajay is the first one he bounces off his ideas to. In fact, he was the one who felt Ranveer would be ideal for this movie.” Apparently, Ajay gave his nod immediately when Rohit approached him for the cameo.
While the first poster of Simmba had Ranveer’s look as cop Sangram Bhalerao, it did remind people of Salman Khan’s Chulbul Pandey in the Dabangg series and Ajay’s Bajirao Singham in Singham. Adds our source. “Rohit’s film is a cop-drama adapted from the Telugu hit Temper. The idea was to get these two characters (Singham and Simmba) together for a scene.” We reached out to Rohit for a comment, but he didn’t respond.
