Rohit Shetty unveils Arjun Kapoor’s first look from ‘Singham Again’

Director Rohit Shetty on Wednesday unveiled the first look of actor Arjun Kapoor from his action film Singham Again. Taking to Instagram, he posted a series of pictures with the first one showing Arjun’s face splattered with blood. The second photo showed him with Simmba, aka Ranveer Singh.

He captioned it as, “Insaan galati karta hai, aur usse uski saza bhi milti hai… Lekin ab jo aayega, wo shaitaan hai! Can I say — introducing Arjun Kapoor! #SinghamAgain @arjunkapoor @rohitshettypicturez…”

Arjun also shared his first look from the film and captioned the post, “Singham ka villain! Feeling on top of the world being a part of hit-machine Rohit Shetty sir’s cop universe! I promise you there will be mayhem…#SinghamAgain @itsrohitshetty @rohitshettypicturez.

Helmed by Rohit Shetty, Singham Again also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff and Ranveer Singh in the lead roles. Singham Again is the third instalment of the super-hit franchise and the film is all set to hit theatres on August 15, 2024. Singham was released in 2011, starring Kajal Aggarwal and Prakash Raj in the lead roles, followed by Singham Returns in 2014. Both of them were box-office hits.

In an interview, Shetty said, “I did ‘Simmba’, ‘Sooryavanshi’ and then the pandemic came for two years because Sooryavanshi’s end is linked to Singham, we had to wait for almost three years to start shooting for the film.”

Rohit Shetty, who enjoyed shooting in Hyderabad and Goa, has finished some of the shooting for Singham Again at the Ramoji studio in Hyderabad, “It’s a huge studio and the kind of work I do…car chases, action and all that…so for that, I need that kind of place. There are not many restrictions and I love that place. You stay there in the studio and you shoot there…it’s kind of a boarding school… there is discipline…within two minutes you are on a set.”

Talking about the role of Ajay Devgn and whether he will reprise the character of Inspector Bajirao Singham, Shetty said, “He is upgraded now, although he is playing an officer but on a bigger level. He has a different mission altogether from the government. Then there are Ranveer and Deepika, they all come from a different region. It’s not like in one police station. The film travels. It travels from Mumbai to South till Rameswaram and forward from that.”
