Mumbai: Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone is all set to play the role of a police officer in Rohit Shetty’s upcoming film, Singham Again. The film is a sequel to Shetty’s 2011 hit film Singham, which starred Ajay Devgn in the lead role.
Padukone revealed her first look and character’s name from the film on her social media accounts. In the photo, she is seen wearing a police uniform and sporting a fierce expression on her face. Her character’s name is Shakti Shetty.
In an interview with a leading news publication, Padukone said that she is excited to play the role of a police officer for the first time. She also said that she is looking forward to working with Shetty, who is known for his action-packed films.
“I am thrilled to be a part of Rohit Shetty’s cop universe as Lady Singham. It’s an honor to play a female cop in a film that is helmed by one of the most successful filmmakers in India. I am excited to begin this journey and I can’t wait to share it with all of you,” Padukone said.
Singham Again is also set to star Ranveer Singh, who is Padukone’s husband. This will be the first time that the couple will be seen sharing screen space since their 2018 film Padmaavat.
The film is expected to go on floors in early 2024 and is scheduled to release in the second half of the year.
Given Deepika Padukone’s track record of playing strong and independent female characters, it is safe to expect that her Lady Singham will be no different. She is likely to play a police officer who is fearless, dedicated, and incorruptible.
With Rohit Shetty at the helm, Singham Again is sure to be an action-packed film with plenty of high-octane stunts and sequences. It will be interesting to see how Deepika Padukone fares in this genre, especially considering that she has not played a role like this before.
Overall, the news of Deepika Padukone playing Lady Singham in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again is exciting for fans of both the actress and the filmmaker. It is a film that has the potential to be a blockbuster and to further cement Deepika Padukone’s status as one of the leading actresses in Bollywood.
