Film R... Rajkumar Shahid Kapoor and Probhu deva

After Akshay Kumar's rugged Rowdy in Prabhu Deva's 2012 monster hit Rowdy Rathore, Shahid Kapoor will be seen as the tough guy in the choreographer-director's upcoming film R... Rajkumar (previously titled Rambo Rajkumar).


Set for a December 6 release this year, the film also stars Sonakshi Sinha, Sonu Sood and Shraddha Kapoor (in an item number).


After his last film -- Phata Poster Nikla Hero -- failed miserably at the box office, think R... Rajkumar will be that elusive hit Shahid is looking for?
