Singham Again: One year of ‘Lady Deepika Padukone’s power-packed 2024 performance
Last year was a action riot as Rohit Shetty brought an all star
⁹cop-verse best to us with Singham Again. What came as a surprise was one character that became the first female cop representation in Rohit Shetty’s cop- universe, ‘Lady Singham’ Shakti Shetty portrayed by Deepika Padukone. It was massy, quirky and reminded us all of another Rohit Shetty gem, Meenamma.
Adding another landmark to her incredible journey, last year she delivered a powerful performance in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. Her introduction as Shakti Shetty, popularly known as Lady Singham, emerged as one of the most impactful and unforgettable female character entries in recent years, marking a defining moment in the celebrated cop universe where Rohit Shetty himself called her reminiscent of Meenamma from Chennai Express, which stays iconic.
Deepika Padukone as
Shakti Shetty in Singham Again was nothing short of electrifying. She portrayed a powerful performance, packing a punch and action sequences with incredible finesse. Her swag, aura, and unshakable confidence radiated through her brief yet impactful cameo introduction, leaving audiences asking for more. Director Rohit Shetty revealed that Deepika will soon hit the headlines as her own standalone film as Lady Singham, expanding the celebrated cop universe.
Ever since this announcement, excitement among fans has reached new heights. Rohit introduced Deepika’s character in a grand, unforgettable way and even shared in an interview that Lady Singham will be surely happen and he has the basic arc of the story ready.
Rohit went on to add that they still have to write it and do have a concept in mind but don’t know where they can go with it. There’s still time for that. He was aware what the character will be like and her basic story arc but didn’t know her entire journey yet as a director or writer. But a female-led cop film headlined by Lady Singham will definitely happen; otherwise, they wouldn’t have introduced her at all. There’s a reason why they emphasized on that character and her name in Singham Again.
As they look back at Deepika Padukone’s power-packed performance as Shakti Shetty, it’s aptly clear she would bring an unparalled mass appeal and charisma to the role. Her fearless energy and commanding presence has left a lasting mark, setting the stage for what ensures to be another memorable performance when she returns as Lady Singham in her
much-awaited solo film.
