It is known that earlier this Friday, on October 18, 2024, ‘Singham’ was re-released in theaters, ahead of the upcoming ‘Singham Again’, which is set for a mega Diwali release. A special screening was held on October 19, where Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty interacted with fans. Originally released in 2011, ‘Singham’ introduced Bajirao Singham, one of Bollywood’s most iconic police officer characters, and also marked Kajal Aggarwal’s debut in Hindi cinema.
In an interview with News18, Kajal Aggarwal shared her excitement about the re-release, saying it was a great opportunity for audiences to revisit her first Bollywood film, which had become a massive hit in 2011. She expressed pride in being part of a project that gained such a loyal fan base and evolved into a successful franchise. Reflecting on the film’s legacy, Kajal remarked that it set a trend in Bollywood and she was happy to see fans still enthusiastic about it.
Kajal also shared that many fans continue to tell her how much they enjoy watching ‘Singham’ every time it airs on television. She mentioned that viewers especially love the action sequences and humor, which have become trademarks of Rohit Shetty’s films. The actor acknowledged that ‘Singham’ still resonates with people, with many praising the balance of engaging storylines, humor, and high-energy action, elements that made the film timeless.
Before her role in ‘Singham’, Kajal had already made a name for herself in Tamil and Telugu cinema. However, she noted that ‘Singham’ catapulted her to national fame, shining a spotlight on her in a way no other project had done before. She credited the film for bringing her widespread recognition and opening doors to new opportunities in Bollywood. Following its success, Kajal received numerous offers, and she viewed ‘Singham’ as a defining moment in her career.
The actress attributed the film’s success to its entertaining storyline, which stayed away from crude humor and derogatory remarks. She believed the film’s focus on justice and integrity in law enforcement resonated with audiences. Kajal admitted that while she knew the film was special, she hadn’t anticipated its massive success and enduring popularity.
Currently, Kajal is filming for Salman Khan’s upcoming project, ‘Sikandar’, but remains grateful for the impact ‘Singham’ had on her career. As the franchise gears up for the release of ‘Singham Again’ on November 1, both Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty are eager to reignite the excitement that ‘Singham’ first created, leaving an enduring mark on Indian cinema.
