The trailer for Singham Again, starring Ajay Devgn, has been released and is drawing a range of responses from fans and critics alike. While many praise the action-packed thriller, others express more tempered reactions. Among those impressed is filmmaker Karan Johar, who hailed the trailer as a “mass entertainer”.
The film, directed by Rohit Shetty, features an ensemble cast including Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor and Akshay Kumar and is set for release on 1 November.
Karan Johar took to Instagram to share his excitement, posting the trailer on his stories with the message: “Congratulations @itsrohitshetty and team… what an absolute BLOCKBUSTER trailer for a blockbuster movie!!! This Diwali will be unlike any other… mass entertainer loading!!!” In response, Ajay Devgn reacted by posting heart emojis. Earlier, Alia Bhatt also praised the trailer, calling it “Next Level” and expressed her excitement at seeing such a star-studded cast, writing, “Look at all the dynamite in one frame!! Cannot Keep Calm!!!!!!”
The third instalment in the Singham franchise, Singham Again sees Ajay Devgn reprising his role as the fearless cop Bajirao Singham. Deepika Padukone joins the franchise as “Lady Singham,” while Ranveer Singh returns as Sangram “Simmba” Bhalerao and Akshay Kumar as Veer Sooryavanshi. Arjun Kapoor is introduced as the film’s antagonist.
Watch the trailer:
The trailer opens with Kareena Kapoor narrating to her son the story of Ram’s battle to rescue Sita from Sri Lanka. When her son questions whether his father would do something equally heroic, Ajay Devgn’s character responds, “Google ‘Bajirao Singham’ and you’ll find out who your father is.” The plot centres on the abduction of Kareena Kapoor’s character by Arjun Kapoor’s villain, with Ajay Devgn’s Singham determined to rescue her. He is joined in his mission by Simmba (Ranveer Singh), Sooryavanshi (Akshay Kumar), Shakti Shetty (Deepika Padukone) and Tiger Shroff, promising a thrilling ride as they unite to take down the enemy.
The film is expected to be a major Diwali release, but it will face competition from Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which also dropped its trailer today in Jaipur. With both films aiming to dominate the box office, it remains to be seen which will emerge victorious this festive season.
