Ajay Degvn, Rohit Shetty visit theatre as Singham re-releases in theatres again

Singham, released in 2011, marked the beginning of a unique partnership between actor Ajay Devgn and director Rohit Shetty. The film's success launched their cop universe, and now, a decade later, they are set to return with Singham Again. Before its Diwali release, Ajay and Rohit attended a special screening of Singham in Mumbai, where they reminisced about the filmmaking experience and the origins of the iconic line, “Ata Majhi Satakli.”

During the interaction when Rohit was asked about the dialogue and whether he knew how iconic it would become in the years following its release, he said: “Genuinely, we had just written those characters- Singham and the villain Jaykant Shikre (played by Prakash Raj), in Maharashtrian. It became an iconic line! He just says that line once in the film, otherwise it is told by the villain. We never thought… for us it was just a line! Again a language which everybody says now! We never thought about it that way.”

Ajay Devgn added, “In that moment it was just a line! There are many lines and nobody knows at that time what comes after. While doing it, that was just a line and then it became a cult line.”

In a press release, the filmmakers explained the decision to re-screen Singham, stating, “The overwhelming demand from fans eager to experience this mass entertainer on the big screen once more before the release of Singham Again prompted us to bring it back to theaters.”

Singham Again will feature Kareena Kapoor, with Arjun Kapoor taking on the role of the antagonist. Additionally, the film will see Ranveer Singh and Akshay Kumar joining the cop universe, alongside the introduction of new characters played by Deepika Padukone and Tiger Shroff. Singham Again is set to hit theaters on November 1, coinciding with the Diwali weekend
