Ranveer Singh, who completed a decade in the film industry on Thursday, may still be awaiting the release of Kabir Khan's sports drama, '83', and Akshay Kumar's cop thriller 'Sooryavanshi', in which he has a special appearance, both long-delayed by the pandemic, along with the dramedy, 'Jayeshbhai Jordaar', but with a jam-packed shoot diary, the actor can no longer afford to sit at home twiddling his thumbs.
He recently kicked off Rohit Shetty's 'Cirkus', a comedy of errors with him in a double role. The film rolled soon after Diwali in Mumbai and will also be shot extensively in Ooty and Goa. The laugh riot also features Varun Sharma in a double role. Pooja Hegde and Jacqueline Fernandez are the leading ladies.They will be shooting nonstop till March.
"After exploring different sub-genres of comedy- horror, slapstick and situational- Rohit is stepping into the period space. The film is set in the '60s. Since the humour arises from when four lookalikes cross each other's paths, Rohit decided to set the story in '68 when there were no mobile phones," the source informed. Interestingly, Bimal Roy's 'Do Dooni Chaar', which was also an adaptation of Shakespeare's 'The Comedy of Errors', released in 1968. —Times of India
