On becoming a Rohit Shetty actor, Ranveer Singh said, "I have been a huge fan of Rohit saab for a long time. He is one of the greatest commercial filmmakers. I have been a huge fan of Singham franchise. I had been waiting to be a part of Rohit Shetty's film but it's not easy to get into his films. You have to earn the right to be in his world."

Ranveer also spoke about his wife Deepika Padukone's reaction to the trailer. He said, "Rohit sir showed her some rushes on my birthday. She doesn't say much. She never speaks much. When the rushes ended, she looked at me and said, 'Bada hot lag raha hai.'"(Photo credit: Varinder Chawla) (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
Karan Johar, who is co-producing Simmba, spoke about Ranveer and Rohit's chemistry. "These two will not be able to stop themselves from giving us the best. Rohit Shetty will not be able to work without Ranveer Singh. Ranveer works on a Rohit Shetty film even when he is not working in it. This duo is out of the world, and all set to give us their best,” said the filmmaker. (Photo credit: Varinder Chawla) (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
