'Simmba' is Sara Ali Khan's second Bollywood movie after she made her debut with Abhishek Kapoor's 'Kedarnath' earlier this month. Apart from Ranveer and Sara, the movie also casts Sonu Sood, who portrays the role of the antagonist in the action flick and Ajay Devgn who has a cameo in 'Simmba'. The flick is a remake of 2015 Telugu blockbuster 'Temper'. Directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Karan Johar, the movie is a solid, well-packaged entertainer with a powerful message. (ANI)
