Cirkus is an upcoming 2022 Indian Hindi-language period comedy film[1][2] directed and produced by Rohit Shetty. It is jointly produced by Rohit Shetty Picturez, Reliance Entertainment and T-Series.[3] The film stars Ranveer Singh in a dual role alongside Pooja Hegde, Jacqueline Fernandez and Varun Sharma.[4][5] It also features Deepika Padukone and Ajay Devgn in special appearances.[6][7] The music is composed by Devi Sri Prasad.[8]

Cirkus is based on the 1982 Hindi film Angoor,[9][10] that itself being a remake of the 1968 Hindi film Do Dooni Chaar, which in turn was an adaptation of the 1963 Bengali film Bhranti Bilas,[11] that too was based on Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's 1869 play of same name adapted from William Shakespeare's play The Comedy of Errors.[12][13] Principal photography for the film began in November 2020 at Mumbai and also took place in Ooty.[14]

Cirkus is scheduled for worldwide theatrical release on 23 December 2022, coinciding with Christmas Eve.[15]

The Principal photography began on 17 November 2020 in Mumbai.[18] Film production was halted during the final schedule in April 2021 as shootings were stopped in Mumbai, due to the second wave of COVID-19, and the final schedule resumed in Ooty around November 2021 and was completed within December 2021.[19] Some patchwork also took place in July 2022. The entire filming for Cirkus was wrapped up on November 2022.
