Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year went on floors on May 2, 2009. This marks the coming together once again of the “Chak De India” Director/Writer combination of Shimit Amin & Jaideep Sahni in a funny & exhilarating coming off age movie, set in the new Indian economy. The extremely popular and talented Ranbir Kapoor plays the lead role as the salesman of the year. This Yash Raj Films movie is set to release in December 2009.

  1. Nice look. I hope he plays a “normal” Sikh, as opposed to the usual Bollywood Sikh who feels compelled to “perform” his Sikhness in every frame of the movie.

  2. masterpraz Says:

    Fantastic look

  3. Jaideep Sahni looks very much like Ganguly.

  4. oops1 (poor srk fan) Says:

    I can’t post a new topic here so… this the new shweppes ad with Arjun Rampal, Nicole Kidman and the little Lathika from SDM

    Enjoy !!

  5. About the Rocket Singh picture… interesting. Shimit Amin, the Yashraj savior ?

    • I think they need more than one success at this point. They did have RNBDJ recently but again that isn’t quite the sort of project that could be the way forward for a company.

  6. You beat everyone to it Sandy! Today this picture has appeared on Midday, Indiafm, Rediff, BoC.

    With a name like Rocket Singh, it’s gonna be over-the-top comedy. Ranbir looks good; hope he does his Punjindi right!

    Smells like ‘Employee of the month’, though!

  8. jayshah Says:

    Looks good, doesn’t look superficial

  9. masterpraz Says:

    I smell a winner here….

  10. Is RK replacing SRK? First Filmfare award, Pepsi deal and now Amin’s movie…

  11. Another success in waiting for Ranbir. Excellent choices.

  12. This might be the first Ranbir movie I’ve come across that actually looks worth seeing.

  13. The facial hair does the trick for GF! A failsafe formula.
    If only Tusshar and Ritesh had a moustache!

    • I was about to type “explain Amitabh” and then I laughed at myself.

      Really though, it’s the film’s feel and context…Rajneeti is also an interesting move for him in this sense…especially with the rumor that the film is a kind of “Mahabharat” set in the arena of modern politics. Sounds like a couple of good films coming up for him.

  14. Appreciate you taking it in right spirit. I am fairly confident that you know that I am just yanking your chain with this kind of irreverential banter.

  15. Looks good!

  16. Big bucks and Bollywood

    “The film has generated enough curiosity and is getting billed as a success story already. It releases on December 11, 2009 even though there are rumours that Yash Raj Productions may just clash this film with 3 Idiots, which releases on December 25, 2009.)”

  17. Is it just me or others also feel that the promos are not least exciting other than the dance steps. He looks like a Singh but talks in hindi which ruins the feel completely. I hope they have a strong screenplay to back up this salesman pitch of 2 hours about an underdog and how he balances this act. I am starting to feel that this actor may get typecast as an underdog Raj Kapoor type hero playing comedy/underachiever if he is not careful.
    I have lost faith in YFR since 2007 so all their movies make me nervous.

  18. this film keeps looking better and better to me. awesome poster and stills as well!

  19. I smell a big winner here. Crisp stills.

  20. masterpraz Says:

    Love the new stills…I smell a DARK HORSE!

  21. Bonafide hit here. Actually, cannot say that withoutknowing the content, but surely looks interesting and Jaideep/Shimit isa proven team. And, Ranbir is THE star of the future.

  22. Ranbir got a pretty face & good height.kapoors must be very proud & counting on him to bring that Era back.
    He looks much better for a change in typical Sikh makeover. at least his improportionate features got covered.(too small mouth for such a long,big nose)lol…..
    best in newcomers ! is he? hope bachchans not worried much.
