Deepika Padukone’s Singham Look
One of these arresting photos captures a determined Deepika, her hands marked by blood, as she places a revolver near a man’s mouth while maintaining a firm grip on his hair with her other hand. The scene is nothing short of intense, set against a backdrop of scattered bodies, the wreckage of vehicles, and a building engulfed in flames. In another image, Deepika exudes unwavering confidence as she gazes directly into the camera while holding the pistol close to her face, embodying the bold and fearless demeanor of her character.
The response to Deepika’s new look was overwhelming, with her fellow actors and friends expressing their appreciation and excitement. Ranveer Singh, in particular, couldn’t contain his enthusiasm, exclaiming, “Aag laga degi (She will set it on fire),” accompanied by a sequence of fiery emojis. Janhvi Kapoor and Alia Bhatt joined in, sharing their enthusiasm with fiery and exploding head emojis.
Ranveer Singh took the celebration a step further by sharing Deepika’s posters on his Instagram account, welcoming her arrival with the spirited proclamation, “AALI RE AALI… LADY SINGHAM AALI!!!!” amidst a flurry of fiery emojis. “SHAKTI SHETTY has arrived in the Cop-verse!!!!!”
Turning back the clock to August, reports began to hint at Deepika Padukone’s significant role in “Singham Again.” She is poised to become the first female police officer in Rohit Shetty’s expansive cinematic universe, and she has already embarked on rigorous preparations for this high-octane character. Deepika’s character is likened to the iconic “Lady Singham” and is expected to share a compelling connection with Ajay Devgn’s character in the film.
Furthermore, this isn’t a brief cameo; it’s a fully fleshed-out role that will require Deepika to dedicate a substantial 35 to 40 days to the filming process. This character promises to infuse the “Singham” storyline with depth and intrigue, enriching the narrative and captivating the audience even further.
Director Rohit Shetty officially confirmed last year that Deepika Padukone would be joining his esteemed cop universe in “Singham Again.” Their previous collaboration dates back to the 2013 action-comedy “Chennai Express.” More recently, this dynamic duo collaborated on the song “Current Laga,” featured in Shetty’s upcoming cinematic endeavor, “Cirkus.” This rekindling of their creative partnership has ignited immense anticipation among fans and cinephiles alike, promising an exhilarating cinematic journey.
