The trailer of Simmba expectedly received a thunderous response as it released yesterday - after all, the action comedy sees the heady combination of Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty. "The judicious dose of Ajay Devgn peppered on the trailer is the best part," Shetty told us when we met him over the weekend. Sources suggested that the sequence with Devgn and Singh forms the film's climax.

The coming together, albeit for a cameo, of Simmba and Bajirao Singham - Shetty's other iconic cop - is a delight for cinephiles. The director, on his part, too opened up about developing the Simmba series as a parallel to the crossover universe of Singham. "I always thought of it as a desi Marvel universe story where the leads meet in Simmba. I am happy with the way it has shaped up. Everyone around keeps telling me that Simmba is my best work to date."
