Since last couple of months or so, there were rumors suggesting that Ranveer Singh and Tamil director, Shankar are planning a collaboration. The reports also suggested that the project under consideration is th Hindi remake of psychological thriller, 'Anniyan'. Fortunately, the rumors have turned out to be true and Ranveer has confirmed the same in his instagram. This will mark Ranveer Singh's pan-Indian debut. The titled hasn't been decided yet and the project is supposed to go on floors by mid 2022.

Ranveer Singh is elated to be a part of this epic project. He said, “I am blessed to have this opportunity to be a part of the spectacular cinematic vision of Shankar sir. He is an exception to the norm, a true disruptor who has shown us that no vision is large enough to achieve on screen. I had always hoped and dreamed that I would get a chance to collaborate with him, and I have a strong feeling that we will create magic together. To lead a film like Anniyan is a dream come true for any artiste. Vikram Sir, one of our country’s finest talents, an artiste who I hugely admire, gave a colossal performance in the original, one that can never be matched.

The actor further shared, "I can only hope that my interpretation and rendition of the part also connects with audiences in the same way. 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."
