Talking about his inspiration and thanking Rohit Shetty for the opportunity, Arjun said in a statement, “I started my career in the industry by playing characters with negative shades like Ishaqzaade, Aurungzeb and after all these years, here I am, playing a villain. In Singham Again! While Aditya Chopra saw in me the ability to play flawed characters, I am now grateful to Rohit Shetty for believing that I could play an outright villain in his ambitious and much-loved cop universe film. Rohit Shetty instilled in me faith and has been a guide every step of the way.
“Both people have been true mentors in my film career and I am grateful that a successful filmmaker like Rohit Shetty believes that I can surprise people by playing a villain in Singham Again,” he added.
The actor also revealed how excited he is to play the villain in Rohit Shetty’s film as it gave him the opportunity to experiment as an actor as well. Arjun said, “I always wanted to experiment on screen and give audiences something different to watch. So playing an arch-nemesis of the police in Singham Again was an exciting opportunity for me.”
He continued, “As I said, it feels like a full circle in my career when I am on the sets of Singham Again. I received a lot of love from playing characters who were negative at the beginning of my career and I wish to get the same and more with Singham Again.” .
Directed by Rohit Shetty Singham Again also stars Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff and Ranveer Singh in the lead roles. Singham Again is the third installment in the successful franchise.
Singham was released in 2011, starring Kajal Aggarwal and Prakash Raj in the lead roles, followed by Singham Returns in 2014. Both projects were declared hits at the box office.
Singham Again is scheduled to be released in theaters in August 2024, coinciding with Independence Day.
