Deepika Padukone’s much-anticipated role as Shakti Shetty in Singham Again has taken the audience by storm, being the apt representation of female power in the cop-verse as Lady Singham, an equal female power to Bajirao Singham Ajay. Deepika’s entry in the film is fierce and commanding introduction, reminiscent of the original Singham (2011), where the cop made a bold and unforgettable impact. Similarly, Shakti Shetty’s introduction in Singham Again presents a no-nonsense, larger-than-life figure, underscoring Deepika’s ability to carve her own distinct space in the universe.
The makers recently dropped a track for Shakti Shetty, further heightening anticipation for her character. Deepika’s performance has drawn parallels to her earlier role as Meenamma in Chennai Express—a fun, spirited character who continues to stay iconic. Her second collaboration with Rohit Shetty after Chennai Express has clearly struck a chord with audiences, who are now eagerly clamoring for a standalone film centered around Shakti Shetty – each time the duo get together, they bring iconicity to the screens with memorable characters and like Meenamma, Lady Singham Shakti Shetty wins over too.
Shakti Shetty marks a major milestone as the first female cop in Rohit Shetty’s cinematic world, a powerful counterpart to the male-dominated universe of Singham, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi. In the film, Deepika’s character is synonymous to fierce action, high-octane drama, and a deeply moral compass. Fans have loved how Shakti’s traits, including her strong presence and unwavering determination stand out in the film, with the theatres erupting with whistles and cheer the moment she enters the frame and does the signature Singham claw.
With fans already celebrating Deepika’s electrifying performance, there’s growing demand for a film that explores Shakti Shetty’s journey further in the cop universe—a strong, female force poised to take on any challenge that comes her way.
