Filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s upcoming comedy “Cirkus”, headlined by Ranveer Singh, is set to release theatrically on December 23. The film is based on William Shakespeare’s classic play “The Comedy of Errors”, which revolves around two sets of identical twins, who were accidentally separated at birth. “Cirkus” also stars Pooja Hegde, Jaqueline Fernandez and Varun Sharma.
Sharing the poster on his Instagram handle, Rohit addressed the audience and wrote, “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. Cirkus is a Christmas gift for you and your family. Kyunki iss ‘Cirkus’ mein bohot sara Golmaal hai.” In the poster, Ranveer and Varun can be seen in their double avatars.
This will be Shetty’s third collaboration with Singh after their blockbuster “Simmba” and last year’s “Sooryavanshi”, in which he featured in an extended cameo.
“‘Cirkus’ is a complete family entertainer. There’s no better time than the Christmas holidays to celebrate the film in cinemas everywhere,” the filmmaker said in a statement.
“Cirkus” is presented by Bhushan Kumar led T-Series. The film also features Siddhartha Jadhav, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra and Vrajesh Hirjee, among others.
