The Singham franchise draws its basis from the Tamil Singam films starring Suriya. Singham Again is the fifth film in the Cop Universe, the first four being Singham, Singham Returns, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi. While Padukone is the first female cop in this cinematic universe, Singh and Kumar are expected to be seen in special appearances. It'll tentatively release on August 15, 2024.
Shroff's first film with the successful director
Singham Again will mark the maiden collaboration between Shroff and Shetty. The rumors about a possible partnership between the duo first swirled in January 2019, when reports surfaced about Shroff's meeting with the Cirkus director. Shroff's inclination for action will also prove useful for his role as a cop. Separately, this is Devgn's 13th and Kapoor Khan and Singh's fourth film with the director.
Will 'Singham Again' push its release date?
Though Shetty seeks to maximize the film's potential at the box office by booking the Independence Day slot, he might have to push the film ahead. The reason behind this is Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule, slated to release on August 15, 2024, and poised to be a mammoth box-office success. It remains to be seen which slot will Singham Again now pick.
Upcoming projects of Shroff and Shetty
Before Singham Again, Shroff will be seen in Ganapath: A Hero is Born, ready for release on Friday. Directed by Vikas Bahl, the dystopian drama also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Kriti Sanon. Shetty, meanwhile, is gearing up for his OTT debut in the form of Indian Police Force, which will premiere on Amazon Prime Video and stars Shilpa Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, and Sidharth Malhotra.
