Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, who is going to portray the menacing antagonist Shuddh Singh in upcoming period drama 'Shamshera', is super excited for the film's release. In a recent interview with The Indian Express, Sanjay revealed that 'Shamshera' has been crafted for the masses and that's the reason why it is a special film.

He stated, "Shamshera is an amazing film, most commercial film I have come across in recent times, it is made for the masses. This is kind of work I’ve done all my life, but it got somewhere forgotten in Bollywood."

Sanjay further added, "I am glad that we have people like Karan (Malhotra) and few more directors who believe in that kind of cinema, who don’t forget or disconnect themselves from places like UP, Bihar, Jharkhand and all those belts. We should not forget that that is our audience, the main audience. So this is exciting for me, and I get happiness working on such films.”

Directed by Karan Malhotra and also starring Vaani Kapoor, 'Shamshera' is set to release theatrically on 22nd of July.
