Not 'Singham Again,' 'Simmba' is the longest 'Singham' franchise film
What's the story
The much-awaited film of 2024, Singham Again, starring Ajay Devgn, will hit the screens on November 1.
Ahead of its release, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has revealed the movie's runtime is two hours and 24 minutes (144 minutes). The film has also received a U/A rating from the CBFC.

Run-time comparison
'Singham Again' compared to previous cop universe films
The first film in Shetty's Cop Universe, Singham (2011), had a runtime of two hours and 23 minutes. Its sequel, Singham Returns (2014), was a tad shorter at two hours and 22 minutes.
The third installment, Simmba (2018) starring Singh, ran for two hours and 38 minutes while Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi (2021) clocked in at two hours and 25 minutes.
Thus, Singham Again is one of the longer films in the series but still shorter than Simmba and Sooryavanshi.
Cameo appearance

Kapoor and Jackie will be the antagonists.
