Rohit Shetty’s much-anticipated film “Singham Again” has finally hit theatres, much to the delight of his fans. The director, known for his action-packed cop universe and the beloved “Golmaal” franchise, is back with another installment of the popular “Singham” series.

Shetty’s previous film, “Sooryavanshi,” starring Akshay Kumar, was released in 2021, further expanding his cop universe. However, fans have also been eagerly waiting for the return of “Singham” and the action-packed thrills that come with it.

While Shetty is renowned for his cop universe and comedies, his 2013 film “Chennai Express” marked a significant collaboration with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. Although the film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, it has since gained a cult following for its comedy, action, and romance. The dialogues and specific sequences continue to go viral on social media, showcasing the film’s enduring popularity.

However, the initial announcement of Shetty and Khan’s collaboration was met with negativity, with some critics questioning the pairing.

“There was so much speculation about me and SRK at that time,” Shetty revealed in a 2013 interview. “When ‘Chennai Express’ was about to start, they said, ‘Shah Rukh aur Rohit ka toh jamega hi nahi (they won’t get along!). It is the worst combination’, ‘Shah Rukh goes overboard when he does comedy; how will Rohit handle him?’ and ‘Arre, Rohit’s making a love story… what kind of a love story will he make?’,” he added.

Shetty dismissed the negativity, stating that the reality of the film was different from what people expected. “Chennai Express,” featuring Deepika Padukone, Sathyaraj, and Nikitin Dheer, paid tribute to Rajinikanth with the popular song “Lungi Dance” and saw Deepika’s character “Meenamma” becoming a fan favorite.

With “Singham Again,” Rohit Shetty is back to deliver the action and entertainment that his fans have come to expect, while continuing to build his cop universe and cement his place as one of Bollywood’s most successful directors.
