Rohit Shetty’s latest action-packed film ‘Singham Again’ has stormed the box office, marking a historic milestone for the director. The film, which was released during the Diwali festival, has become Shetty’s 10th film to cross the coveted Rs 100 crore mark. Taking to his Instagram handle, Rohit Shetty shared his excitement and wrote, “SINGHAM AGAIN my 10th and fastest 100 cr film,” adding, “For the past 16 films one thing that has remained constant is your love, thank you for all the support and love, humbled.”
Featuring an ensemble cast of stars, including Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Arjun Kapoor, the film has garnered significant attention for its star power.
Despite some actors having limited screen time, the film’s narrative and high-octane action have captivated audiences across the country. Ajay Devgn reprises his iconic role as Bajirao Singham, while Ranveer Singh brings his signature energy with comedic flair.
Arjun Kapoor’s portrayal of the villain has been praised for adding depth to the film. Notably, ‘Singham Again’ also sees Bollywood superstar Salman Khan making a brief yet significant cameo, marking his entry into Rohit Shetty’s cop universe.
With the Diwali release, Singham Again faced a clash with another major multi-starrer horror comedy release ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ starring Kartik Aaryan, Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan and Tripti Dimri in the lead roles.
As ‘Singham Again’ is witnessing success, the makers have dropped a new track titled ‘Lady Singham’, showcasing Deepika Padukone’s powerful role as cop Shakti Shetty.
The track, which is sung by Santhosh Venky, with music by Ravi Basrur and lyrics by Kumaar, perfecty captures Deepika’s bold and fierce cop persona.
In the multi-starrer film ‘Singham Again’, Arjun Kapoor has truly outshone his co-stars with his portrayal of the villainous character ‘Danger Lanka’. Social media platforms, from Instagram to X, have been flooded with appreciation posts for Arjun since Rohit Shetty’s directorial hit cinemas on Diwali.
This cop drama holds a special place in Arjun’s career as it marks his successful comeback at the box office. Before Singham Again, Arjun experienced a professional lull, with films like ‘Lady Killer’ and ‘Bhoot Police’ failing to resonate with audiences.
Over the years, he also became a target of online trolls due to his films’ underperformance. However, with his power-packed performance in Singham Again, Arjun has silenced critics and tasted success once more.
In an interview, the ‘Ishaqzaade’ star discussed the success of Singham Again and reflected on the difficult phase he endured before the release of the third instalment of Rohit Shetty’s cop franchise. “The industry has always supported my work. Even if the movies didn’t succeed, people never questioned my ability as an actor. Sometimes, my choices were off, or the execution wasn’t right, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t capable. Sometimes, even those around you can hinder your potential,” Arjun explained.
Discussing his setbacks, Arjun added, “Who likes failure? At times, you begin to doubt yourself when failures pile up. In today’s world, negativity spreads quickly… People are quick to criticise, and everyone has an opinion. Despite the negativity, you have to keep moving forward and working hard. I started my career with a successful film; audiences gave me immense love then. They understood me, so I never lost faith in them. I trusted that if I delivered good work, success would follow–and that’s exactly what happened with Singham Again.”
Arjun expressed gratitude to director Rohit Shetty for the opportunity to be part of his major franchise. “I want to thank Rohit Shetty for choosing me and believing in me. I’m glad I could deliver for him and, in a way, repay his faith,” he said.
Earlier on Wednesday, Arjun shared a series of memes and posts celebrating his role as a fierce villain in Singham Again, and the positive reactions from both fans and critics. He wrote, “Here’s to turning non-believers into believers! Every question and doubt only fuelled my determination to work harder and come back stronger.”
He continued, “To everyone who supported me then and still does now – thank you. Your support means everything. And to those who doubted me, thank you for pushing me to prove myself again! This journey feels like my debut all over again, and I still have a long way to go. Grateful for every step, lesson, and all the love and fire!”
