Showman film-maker (also co-producer) Rohit Shetty, mega-star Ajay Devgn (Devgn Films), and producer Jyoti Deshpande (Jio Studios) appeared super-delighted with the phenomenal public response to the just-released trailer of multi-starrer Singham Again which was launched amidst boisterous cheer-leaders and frenzied fanfare at the prestigious, luxurious Grand Theatre within the NMACC complex at BKC (Mumbai).
Maverick Rohit Shetty (of Cop Universe fame) who has this penchant for international-class breath-taking action shots of fights, of flying cars, and stunt scenes on hovering helicopters has also added a socially relevant mytho-tadka with massy dialogues, this time. As evident in the trailer, Singham Again, director Rohit has blended analogy-inspiration from the revered epic Ramayana where modern-day Sita-maiya (dignified Kareena Kapoor) is shown being ‘abducted’ by demon-king Ravana (deadly-looking Aaj ka Arjun-Kapoor). All of which has excellent potential to be this year’s BO (box-office) Diwali dhamaka blockbuster, when it releases on November 1st, on auspicious Lakshmi Pujan (Diwali Day).
The mega-budget cop-universe film features an impressive ensemble line-up that includes Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Akshay (‘Sooryavanshi’) Kumar, Ranveer (‘Simmba’) Singh, Deepika Padukone (as Lady Singham) Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Ravi Kishan and popular TV actor Dayanand Shetty the famous door-breaker macho cop of ‘CID’ fame). This ensemble cast is expected to elevate the film’s massy yet classy appeal, making Singham Again a must-watch for fans of Indian cinema. At the trailer launch, each of the artistes (except Deepika Padukone who delivered a baby girl a month ago) shared their fond or funny or dream-come-true sentiments about working with Rohit Shetty or the senior co-stars in the cast.

As expected, co-stars Kareena Kapoor (who will soon complete 25 years as an actress) and the flamboyant Ranveer Singh were the limelight-stealers on stage at the Singham Again trailer launch. Reacted Kareena, “Ramayan mein Sita na ho, yeh ho nahi sakta aur Rohit Shetty ki film mein Kareena na ho aisa ho nahi sakta”. Using this as a cue, Ranveer sang this ‘modified’ Ho Nahi Sakta (Ajay Devgn–Diljale) filmy song to promote the film’s first-day-first-show.
Giving a live demo of his ecstasy on becoming a ‘real-life father’ Ranveer loudly screamed ‘Mulgi Zaali Rey’ (‘It’s a Girl’ in Marathi) and then went on to add to how Deepika Padukone was busy with her one-month-old baby girl. “Since my duty is at night, I have managed to come. Otherwise, Deepika is super-classy, but it’s exhilarating for me when she comes in a massy screen avatar. Also, this is a screen-debut for our ‘Baby Simmba’, since ‘Lady Singham’ Deepika was shooting for this same movie during her pregnancy” gushed the joshila ‘Gully Boy’.
Incidentally, Rohit Shetty is being positively compared with the monarch of mass-manoranjan ‘late’ Manmohan K. Desai (MKD). “Just like legendary MKD, Rohit’s thriller movies are larger-than-life and bring together a galaxy of top A-List stars that too with well-defined roles with entertaining massy content. All the star actors in ‘Singham Again’, have expressed that it’s a genuine honour-opportunity to work under Rohit’s direction”, insists senior cine- trade-analyst and candid movie critic Amod Mehra.
