With an ensemble cast portraying characters reminiscent of the mythological saga, Rohit Shetty's highly anticipated cop drama Singham Again draws inspiration from one of India's greatest epics, the Ramayana. The action-packed narrative will combine the essence of the mythology with the filmmaker's signature cop universe, delivering larger-than-life performances by some of Bollywood’s top stars, including Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, and Tiger Shroff. This time the cop drama features two main antagonists, including Jackie Shroff making a comeback from Sooryavanshi (2021) and Arjun Kapoor.

Look closely at who plays which Ramayana-inspired character in Singham Again

Ajay Devgn as Lord Ram (Bajirao Singham)

Leading the pack, Ajay returns to his iconic role as Bajirao Singham, this time embodying the virtues of Lord Ram. Known for his sense of justice and strong moral compass, Singham’s journey in the film mirrors Ram's fight against evil forces, making the actor the perfect choice to play this symbolic role. With his unshakeable resolve and towering screen presence, fans can expect Devgn’s portrayal to be a powerful blend of action and righteousness.

Kareena Kapoor Khan as Goddess Sita (Avni Kamat)

Returning to the Singham franchise, Kareena Kapoor Khan takes on the role of Goddess Sita, the embodiment of grace and strength. We expect Kareena's character Avni, who anchors Singham's journey, to infuse the film with emotional depth and resilience. With her long-standing partnership with Devgn on-screen, their chemistry will add a new dimension as they bring alive the timeless bond of Ram and Sita.

Akshay Kumar as Jatayu (Veer Sooryavanshi)

Akshay Kumar returns to reprise his role as Veer Sooryavanshi, the fearless DCP who played a central role in Sooryavanshi. In Singham Again, Sooryavanshi’s character draws inspiration from Jatayu, the selfless vulture king in the Ramayana. Much like Jatayu’s ultimate sacrifice in his attempt to protect Sita, Sooryavanshi will make a crucial contribution to Singham’s fight against a formidable new threat. Akshay, known for his high-octane action and patriotic roles, will be pivotal in uniting the cop universe against evil forces, reinforcing his character's loyalty, courage, and unrelenting dedication to justice.

Ranveer Singh as Lord Hanuman (Sangram Bhalerao, aka Simmba)

Bringing energy and charisma, Ranveer Singh, who plays Inspector Sangram Bhalerao (Simmba), will step into the shoes of Lord Hanuman, Ram’s devoted follower. Known for his fiery performances and playful demeanor, Ranveer’s portrayal of Hanuman is likely to add a dash of humor and exuberance to the film while staying true to the character’s undying loyalty and strength.

Tiger Shroff as Lakshman (ACP Satya)

Joining the cop universe for the first time, action star Tiger Shroff will play ACP Satya, inspired by Lakshman, the fearless younger brother of Lord Ram. We anticipate that Tiger's character in Singham Again will assist Singham in his battle against a formidable new foe. Known for his martial arts skills and intense action scenes, Tiger’s portrayal of Lakshman will likely feature some of the film’s most thrilling stunts.

Arjun Kapoor as Raavan (Danger Lanka)

Arjun Kapoor will bring to life the antagonist of the epic tale Raavan. Arjun, portraying the villain Raavan in Singham Again, will embody a menacing figure that symbolizes corruption and chaos in the modern world. We expect his portrayal to be multi-layered, with shades of arrogance and intelligence, making him a formidable opponent to Devgn's Singham.

Rohit Shetty’s decision to draw inspiration from the Ramayana adds a fresh mythological angle to his blockbuster cop universe. The combination of traditional epic characters with modern-day law enforcement officers promises to be an intriguing cinematic experience. Like the revered epic itself, we expect Singham Again to balance high-octane action with a deeper moral and philosophical undertone.

With this all-star cast taking on roles inspired by the Ramayana, the film is poised to be a game-changer, combining Indian mythology with the electrifying action sequences that Rohit Shetty's films are known for. Fans are eagerly awaiting this epic clash between righteousness and evil as Singham Again gears up to hit the screens on Diwali 2024.
