However, director Karan revealed that it is a producer's call.“This is completely my producer's (Aditya Chopra) jurisdiction, he is the most active producer I have ever worked with, in my life. He knows best and I have left it completely up to him. He is the expert and I enjoy my creative space as far as Shamshera is concerned. I have made the film with all my sincerity and all the efforts that I could put in and the film is shaped out well. Now everything is up to Adi. How he wants to place it, what his planning is, everything is in his hands. I have given my best as a director and now I have the country's best producer who is nurturing it further. What else could I have asked for?” he added.

Furthermore, Karan also expressed his excitement for Shamshera and wants it to release soon. He said, “I am looking forward to Shamshera too. I hope it releases soon, and all of us enjoy it and have a blast.

We have not even ventured out into the PR zone of the film yet. But when the time is right we will talk about it for sure”.Apart from Ranbir, Shamshera will also star Vaani Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt in key roles.Talking about Shamshera, the film is set in the 1800s and the film is about a dacoit tribe who took charge to fight for their rights and independence against the British.
