Cirkus teaser: Ranveer Singh, Jacqueline Fernandez take us to ‘simpler’ sixties

A short teaser, introducing the world of Cirkus, was unveiled on Monday. The Rohit Shetty directorial with an ensemble cast of Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Mishra, Johnny Lever, Ashwini Kalsekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Pooja Hegde, Varun Sharma and Mukesh Tiwari, among others, will be released in theatres on December 23.

The teaser opens with the cast, sitting at the entry of a Circus. Sanjay Mishra stands up and announces, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sixties.” Then, one by one, each cast member gets up and describes the golden era. “This was the time when kids asked questions to their grandparents and not Google,” quips Johnny Lever. Ashwini Kalsekar adds, “That time news was news and not ‘breaking news’.” Ranveer Singh and Varun Sharma are also seen in double roles. The teaser ends with the cast informing that Cirkus’s trailer will be released on December 2.

Billed to be a commercial family entertainer, Cirkus is officially adapted from the 1982 film Angoor, which was based on Shakespeare's play The Comedy of Errors.

Ranveer, who was last seen in Jayeshbhai Jordaar, also has Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani alongside Alia Bhatt. The film is set to release on April 28, 2023.
