Helmed by Rohit Shetty, Cirkus is all set to hit the theatres on December 23. The film also stars Johnny Lever, Pooja Hegde, Sanjay Mishra, Ashwini Kalsekar, Mukesh Tiwari, and Siddharth Jadhav, among others.

As quoted by news agency ANI, Jacqueline said, "I was nervous on my first day of the shoot that actually in real I slapped Varun and Ranveer in the shot. I was so nervous that I didn't acted the slap scene but slapped them. And after that I felt, I think I broke the ice. See we all broke the ice."

After this Varun and Ranveer replied in a hilarious way. While Varun said, "Yeah if you (showing his cheek ) call this ice", Ranveer replied, " Yes. Broke the jaw line for which I required ice."

Set in the 1960s, Cirkus has Ranveer playing twins who are unaware of each other's existence. Varun Sharma, too, plays a double role in this family entertainer. Cirkus marks Ranveer and Rohit's third collaboration after Simmba (2018) and Akshay Kumar-starrer Sooryavanshi, where Ranveer made a cameo appearance.
