"We have seen him as [Alauddin] Khilji and [Peshwa] Bajirao, but here, he had to look real rather than larger-than-life," says Naveen Shetty, who has styled Ranveer Singh in Simmba. Director Rohit Shetty may be the brain behind one of Hindi cinema's most iconic cops, Bajirao Singham, but Naveen says the director had a distinct vision for Bollywood's latest cop, Sangram Bhalerao aka Singh. If Ajay Devgn's look in Singham (2011) reflected the character's brooding nature, Simmba's look was decidedly flamboyant.
