Bollywood star Ranveer Singh, who has several exciting projects on his platter, has added one more interesting film to his filmography. The actor has signed on to headline the Hindi adaptation of the 2005 Tamil blockbuster Anniyan.

The actor further appreciated the director and called him “a true disruptor who has shown us that no vision is large enough to achieve onscreen”.

Shankar too is all praise for Ranveer and stated that “a charismatic showman like him can only play the part”.

He added that only the Bajirao Mastani actor can immortalize a character through his brilliant performance.

The storyline of Anniyan revolves around a common man who takes law into his own hands to fight a corrupt system. The original film, which starred Vikram as the lead actor, was dubbed in Hindi and released as Aparachit in 2006.

“It’s undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime performance piece, and I am ready to give this role every single ounce of my being. Shankar sir is a genius filmmaker and a true visionary. Words don’t do justice to just how excited I am at the prospect of being directed by him” Ranveer further said.
