Soon after the trailer came in, netizens shared their excitement and two cents about it. While some absolutely backed Ranbir as the perfect choice for the titular role of Shamshera, others were skeptical about the editing of the trailer itself and pointed out that it told way too much.
Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh said, “Ranbir Kapoor vs Sanjay Dutt: ‘Shamshera’ trailer if sensational… This one is meant for the big screens only…. Ranbir Kapoor is back with a bang with Shamshera…”
Here’s how the rest of the Internet reacted
Shamshera is special because it will mark an end to Ranbir Kapoor’s long hiatus from acting. Besides this, Kapoor will also be seen essaying the role of Shiva in Ayan Mukerji-directorial Brahmastra Part One: Shiva. Ranbir was last seen in the Rajkumar Hirani directed biopic Sanju, based on the life of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, in 2018.
