Some fun pictures from the sets of Ranveer Singh-Sara Ali Khan's new film.

Right after his second wedding reception on November 28, Ranveer Singh will jump into promotions for his next release Simmba.

It's the first time the actor has teamed up with hit-maker director Rohit Shetty, and going by the pictures on Instagram, Simmba promises to be a complete masala entertainer.

It will be his co-star Sara Ali Khan's second release after Kedarnath, and will hit theatres on December 28.

Before you watch the film, Namrata Thakker offers a sneak peek into the action behind the scenes.

And the shoot comes to an end.

Rohit pens a heartfelt note for Ranveer: '6th June 2018, Exactly 5 Months ago today, the journey of Simmba began and as this adventourous journey ends for our Simmba a.k.a. Sangram Bhalerao, I am filled with mixed emotions.

'Simmba being our first film together was full of fun, laughters and unending memories. It's truly been wonderful knowing him as a person and as an actor who is honest hardworking and so passionate about his craft. I can vouch today that no-one else could have been a better Simmba than Ranveer Singh making Simmba (as my team says) My best film so far.'

'When we started the film he was a young talented star for me But today as he performs his last shot for the film I know I've earned a Kid brother for life who is now set to embark upon a new beautiful journey with someone equally as charming and wonderful as him. I am proud to showoff today that my Simmba is marrying my Meenamma!!!I Wish them all the luck for a blissfully beautiful future together.'
