Deepika Padukone watched the trailer of her husband, Ranveer Singh’s upcoming film Simmba and of course, loved it as much as we did. The only difference here is that Deepika watched the trailer (which released today) much before us on Ranveer’s birthday on July 6. Directed by Rohit Shetty, Simmba casts Ranveer as cop Sangram Bhalerao while Sara Ali Khan stars opposite him as his love interest.
While speaking at the trailer launch of Simmba in Mumbai on December 3, Ranveer revealed that Deepika’s first reaction after watching the clip was epic. “As soon as she watched the trailer of Simmba on my birthday, the quiet person she is, in the end, she told me, ‘hot lag rahe ho (you are looking hot)’,” Ranveer said.

We second you, Deepika.
Simmba highlights several issues including the empowerment of women and fighting crime against women. It narrates Sangram Bhalerao’s journey as his character undergoes a valiant change in the film – from a corrupt cop, Bhalerao turns into a determined police officer, who sets out on a quest for justice to avenge a woman’s rape and subsequent death.
Ranveer, in the meantime, is pretty much consumed by his personal as well as professional life. In November, Ranveer married Deepika in Italy and concluded post-wedding festivities with a reception in Mumbai on December 1. Promotional duties for Simmba will also keep him busy at the moment.

Simmba is the remake of Telugu film Temper and is scheduled to release on December 28. It is Sara’s second film after Kedarnath, which marks her debut in Bollywood.
