Mumbai, Dec 5 (IANS): Actor Ronit Roy, who has started shooting for the upcoming film "Shamshera", says he is proud to share the screen with actors Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt.

Ronit on Wednesday morning tweeted: "As I start shooting for 'Shamshera' on a magnificent set, I feel so proud to be a part of this movie, led superbly by our director Karan Malhotra and share the screen with Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt.
