Watch: Ranveer Singh is effusive in his love for Simmba director Rohit Shetty

Actor Ranveer Singh recently married his Padmaavat (2018) co-star Deepika Padukone, but he's already looking ahead to the release of his next film, Simmba (2018), with Sara Ali Khan. Singh shared a video of himself speaking about the film's director, Rohit Shetty, online.

In it, he spoke of his admiration for Shetty and how he was a fan even before he started working with the director. "I used to always think how nice it would be if I got the opportunity to work with him. And then I got the chance to," Singh said at the wrap-up of shooting on the sets of Simmba in the first week of November.

"My experience has been thousands of times more than what I had expected. I've never had such a blast working on a movie in all the years I've been working. The things I learnt are the things I'll carry forward for the rest of my life and it's been cultivated and it's been nutured by Sir," he continued, saying he didn't have words to express what he felt about Shetty.

The brief one-minute video shows the actor and director sharing a carefree, fun relationship on set, in between shots.

The trailer for Simmba is expected to be released on 3 December, while the film is due to hit the screens on 28 December.
