Deepika Padukone to Star as Ajay Devgn's Sister in Singham 3

Following an official statement from the Rohit Shetty Picturez team, indicating an impending revelation of the Singham Again star cast, a recent report by Bollywood Hungama has disclosed that Deepika Padukone is poised to assume a pivotal role in the film. According to a reliable insider, "Deepika Padukone is eagerly embracing her role in Rohit Shetty's Singham Again. She is set to portray the first female law enforcer within the Rohit Shetty cinematic universe and has commenced intensive preparations for this action-oriented character. Deepika's portrayal aligns closely with that of a 'Lady Singham' and encapsulates the narrative arc of Ajay Devgn's sister in the movie."

Further elaborating on Deepika Padukone's involvement in the police drama series, the source informed Bollywood Hungama that her role extends beyond a mere cameo, demanding her presence for an extensive shooting schedule spanning approximately 35 to 40 days. "It's a meticulously scripted role that transcends the conventional boundaries of a cameo appearance. Deepika's contribution is more akin to a comprehensive and significant role in Singham, warranting her commitment for an extensive period of approximately 35 to 40 days," the source explained.

In the preceding month, film critic Taran Adarsh took to his social media platform to share an update regarding the forthcoming project of director Rohit Shetty. The cinematic endeavor marks the third installment in his celebrated police drama series, titled Singham Again. Adarsh shared the official communication from Rohit Shetty Picturez, which emphasized that the film remains in its pre-production phase, urging the media to desist from pre-emptive star cast revelations.

The official statement read, "There have many speculations doing rounds about the star cast in Rohit Shetty's next directorial, Singham Again. The film is currently in pre-production.

For those who may not be fully informed, director Rohit Shetty had previously confirmed, during an interaction with PTI last year, that esteemed Bollywood figure Deepika Padukone would be integrated into his cop-centric cinematic universe through his forthcoming directorial project, Singham Again.

He was quoted as stating, "My next film is Singham from our cop universe. 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," revealed the filmmaker to Mumbai-based reporters.

This formidable actor-director partnership had previously collaborated on the 2019 action-comedy "Chennai Express," and more recently, they united for the song "Current Laga" featured in Shetty's upcoming cinematic creation, "Cirkus."
