"Deepika Padukone will be the Lady Singham in Singham Again," said Rohit Shetty
Bollywood star Deepika Padukone will be boarding Rohit Shetty's cop universe with his upcoming directorial Singham Agai, the filmmaker confirmed on Thursday. The actor-director duo have previously worked on 2019's action comedy Chennai Express and recently collaborated for the song Current Laga from Shetty's upcoming venture Cirkus, led by Ranveer Singh. The filmmaker announced Padukone's casting during the launch event of the special track, which features her alongside husband Singh.
"Everybody keeps asking me when I'll introduce Lady Singham. So, here it is. Deepika Padukone will be the Lady Singham in Singham Again. She is my lady bomb from the cop universe, and we're going to start working together on it next year," the filmmaker told reporters in Mumbai.
Singham Again is the third film in the Singham series, fronted by Ajay Devgn. Singh, who is also part of the cop universe as Simmba, said working with his real-life partner and frequent co-star Padukone is a lot of fun.
"When we come together on set, I have a lot of fun. You have to cherish those moments when you have a co-actor that you can trust. The one, who you know is not going to play one-upmanship, and it becomes a collaborative effort. There is a give and take. Trust is indeed a foundation of good chemistry between co-actors," Ranveer Singh said.
