Singham - set for a monsoon release

(prHWY.com) June 15, 2011 - Mumbai, India -- After trying his hand at comedy, drama, thrillers, Bollywood actor, Ajay Devgn is back to doing what is beat at - action. The actor will be seen in an action packed role in Rohit Shetty's Singham. Singham is the remake of Tamil movie Singam which had Suriya in the lead and was directed by Hari. The film will release on 22nd July. Singham is directed by Rohit Shetty. Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn come together after a series of hit films like the Golmaal series and All The Best. This director-actor duo is making a comeback of sorts to the action genre with this film.

Ajay Devgn will be seen in the role of a cop named Bajirao Singham. Devgn will be seen in the role of a cop after a gap of eight years. He was last seen taking on the baddies in khaki in Prakash Jha's Gangaajal. Says Devgn, "It's a film about men. Singham will mark the return of hardcore raw action to the cinemas with a lot of dialogue-baazi and machismo. It should sock a punch. It will connect to the man on the street because of its simple narrative and terrific action." Says Shetty,"My hero Bajirao Singham (Ajay) is a simple police officer who is happy to toe the line till he is provoked by baddie Prakash Raj to show his ferocious side. And when Ajay does that, hell breaks loose.'' Further speaking about how the action in his film is different, the director says, "I have not used a single foreign fighter or imported any foreign equipment for my film. I personally feel indigenous action has a better impact than all the foreign stunts that people are obsessing about these days. As Indians, we identify with our style of raw action, which we have sidelined because some of us have suddenly developed an affinity to the West. To each his own, but for me what works is our own desi action.''

All the action in the film has been conceptualized and designed by Shetty himself! For one of the very first action sequences, the director has blown up twenty cars. Says Shetty, "The scene is set in a parking lot, where a kidnapping takes place. It is a chase scene between Ajay and some gangsters for which we will require to blow up cars. In the shot, there will be about 200 cars out of which we will be blowing up 20 cars."

Apart from Devgn, the film has Prakash Raj, Ashok Saraf, Sachin Khedekar, Sonali Kulkarni, Sana Amin Sheikh, Anant Jog, Vijay Patkar, Jayant Sawarkar, Ashok Samarth, Kishore Nandlaskar, Ravidnra Berde, Hemu Adhikari, Agasthay Dhanorkar, Suchitra Bandekar, Suhasini Deshpande, Meghna Vaidya, Pradeep Welankar along with Kajal Aggarwal as the female lead opposite Devgn. Singham is produced by Reliance Entertainment and has been majorly shot in Goa.
