The Na Maloom Afraad star shared: "Tamasha stars Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone in lead roles and I'm going to play Ranbir's father."
"I've completed my first segment in Shimla. The rest of the cast is currently shooting in Delhi and I will be returning to Shimla again next month to complete shooting my scenes," he added.
