Veteran actor Jackie Shroff is basking in the warmth of Kashmiri hospitality while filming for Rohit Shetty's upcoming action extravaganza, 'Singham Again'.
Shroff, known for his charismatic screen presence, took a moment to express his gratitude to the local authorities and people of Jammu and Kashmir for their unwavering support towards the film industry.
"The people here are incredibly helpful and kind, and the administration is very supportive," Shroff said, commending the seamless cooperation he experienced during the shoot. His praise extended beyond logistical efficiency, highlighting the inherent beauty of the region and its people.
"The way this place is beautiful; the same way your people are beautiful," he remarked.
Shroff's effusive praise comes amidst the ongoing production of 'Singham Again', the third installment in Shetty's wildly popular cop universe.
The film boasts a star-studded cast, reuniting Ajay Devgn with his iconic cop avatar, Bajirao Singham.
This time around, however, Singham faces a formidable foe – Arjun Kapoor, who recently wrapped up his portion of the shoot.
Taking to Instagram, Kapoor expressed his excitement about being part of this cinematic juggernaut. "Rohit Shetty ke cop universe ka villain!!!" he declared, alongside a picture with the director. "I have wrapped up my work on 'Singham Again'!!! My 20th film & one of the biggest milestones of my career with a director who is the boss of MASS CINEMA!!"
Kapoor's post overflows with enthusiasm, reflecting the sheer scale and significance of 'Singham Again'.
He describes it as a dream come true, a sentiment echoed in his detailed caption: "This is the stuff you dream of when you watch masala films growing up!!!"
Working alongside the maverick director, Rohit Shetty, seems to have been a privilege for Kapoor. He acknowledges Shetty's meticulousness and passion, stating, "To see him & his team mount this mega film day in & day out makes you feel proud of being a part of this journey."
The ensemble cast of 'Singham Again' is nothing short of extraordinary.
Apart from the central trio of Devgn, Kapoor, and Shroff, the film boasts appearances by leading Bollywood actresses Kareena Kapoor Khan and Deepika Padukone.
The action quotient gets an extra boost with cameos by Bollywood heavyweights Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, and Ranveer Singh.
'Singham Again' builds upon the legacy established by the first two installments. The 2011 original, featuring Kajal Aggarwal and Prakash Raj, stormed the box office, solidifying Devgn's position as a quintessential action hero. The 2014 sequel, 'Singham Returns', maintained the momentum, further etching the character of Singham into popular culture.
