Helmed by Rohit Shetty ‘Singham Again’ also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, and Ranveer Singh in the lead roles. ‘Singham Again’ is the third instalment of the super-hit franchise and the film is all set to hit theatres on the occasion of Independence Day 2024.

‘Singham’ was released in 2011, starring Kajal Aggarwal and Prakash Raj in lead roles, followed by ‘Singham Returns’ in 2014. Both projects were declared box office hits.

In an interview with ANI, Shetty said, “I did ‘Simmba’, ‘Sooryavanshi’ and then the pandemic came for two years because ‘Sooryavanshi”s end is linked to ‘Singham’, we had to wait for almost three years to start shooting for the film.”

Rohit Shetty who enjoys shooting in Hyderabad and Goa has finished some of the shooting for ‘Singham Again’ at the Ramoji studio in Hyderabad “It’s a huge studio and the kind of work I do…car chases, action and all that…so for that, I need that kind of place. There are not many restrictions and I love that place. You stay there in the studio and you shoot there..it’s kind of boarding school… there is discipline..within two minutes you are on a set.”

Talking about the role of Ajay Devgn and whether he will reprise the character of Inspector Bajirao Singham, Shetty said, “He is upgraded now, although he is playing an officer but on a bigger level. He has a different mission altogether from the government.”

“Then there is Ranveer and Deepika,” he said

“They all come from a different region. It’s not like in one police station. The film travels. It travels from Mumbai to South till Rameswaram and forward from that,” reveals Shetty. (ANI)

Shetty: My Mother Performed Stunts For Hemaji In ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’

By LokMarg 20th January 2024

Filmmaker Rohit Shetty, unquestionably among the country’s most successful commercial directors, however, is not an outsider in the film industry. While his father M B Shetty was a renowned stuntman, his mother Ratna Shetty too was in the industry acting as a stunt double for stars like Hema Malini and Vyjayanthimala.

In an interview with ANI, Shetty said both his parents were an inspiration for him.

“My mom was a stuntwoman. All the ‘Seeta aur Geeta’ stunts you see and Vyjayanthimala rolling from the staircase, it’s her. Her physique was such that,” Shetty said.

The 1972 film written by Salim-Javed and directed by Ramesh Sippy has an ensemble cast of Hema Malini (in a double role), Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar, Roopesh Kumar, Manorama, Satyen Kappu, Honey Irani and Pratima Devi.

Rohit Shetty recalled how his mother did a sequence in the film in which Geeta, the character played by Hema Malini, was seen sitting on a ceiling fan in the police station. “The fan sequence in ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’ or in ‘Andaz”s song ‘Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana’ the top angle shots you saw… on the bike of Rajesh Khanna, that’s my mom.”

“So, it’s our family business. It’s in our DNA — breaking bones … breaking our own bones than the others,” said the 49-year-old director, whose film ‘Singham 3’ is slated for release later this year.

MB Shetty, a famous stunt director and actor of his time and Rekha Shetty had both met on the sets.

Talking about his father, he said, “He was not just a character actor, but also an action director. There was no social media… People were unaware of that. In ‘Deewaar’, the action in the godown scene, he directed that sequence. He was the one who invented the glass break…going through the glass. He used to get a lot of cuts. He was a very soft-spoken guy and very humble and down to earth as he came from a very humble background and very emotional”

As an action director he did films including ‘Don’, ‘The Great Gambler’, ‘Trishul’, ‘Deewaar’ and ‘Shalimar’. Meanwhile, Ratna Shetty also acted in films like ‘Darar’, ‘Bade Ghar Ki Beti’ and ‘Yaar Gaddaar’.

Rohit began his career as an assistant director in Ajay Devgn’s first film, ‘Phool Aur Kaante’ and debuted as an independent director in 2003 with ‘Zameen’ and in 2006 he struck fame with ‘Golmaal’series. (ANI)

By LokMarg 30th April 2023

Several Bollywood celebs like Madhuri Dixit, Shahid Kapoor and Rohit Shetty attended the screening of PM Modi’s 100th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ at Raj Bhavan, Mumbai on Sunday.

Speaking on the occasion, actor Madhuri Dixit said, “He (PM Modi) is taking out time to understand the problems of common people. This is amazing. He is reaching out to people in small towns and villages who are doing such good work and people are not aware of it. So he is bringing such people in front of all the citizens and they are getting global recognition which is amazing. I’m sure it’s going to inspire a lot of youngsters.”
Actor Shahid Kapoor said, “Modi ji wanted to stay connected with the people, I think that’s the sign of a great leader. All the greatest leaders in history, whether it be Kings or Prime Ministers have always stayed connected to the people. There cannot be a deeper connection than this, to be able to speak your mind and listen to people’s words, to be able to convey your words to them. I felt very fortunate that I was invited here. It’s a privilege to be here.”

Director and producer Rohit Shetty said, “I felt inspired, if one leader can show us the right path, then there is nothing impossible. When I was watching I felt how lucky we are that we have such an inspirational leader whom people listen to, from whom they are inspired, which is very rare.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed the nation in the historic 100th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ and said that his radio programme is the “Mann Ki Baat” of millions of Indians and an expression of their emotions.

The Prime Minister said he received thousands of letters and messages from the people and was “swept away by emotions” while reading them. He said that the people of the country have to be congratulated for the 100th episode of his monthly radio programme that began on October 3, 2014.

“Today is the 100th episode of Mann Ki Baat. I have got thousands of letters, lakhs of messages. I have tried to go through more and more of them. I got emotional while reading your letters on many occasions, was swept away by emotions, and then held myself. You have congratulated me on the 100th episode of Mann Ki Baat, but all the listeners, our countrymen deserve to be congratulated. Mann Ki Baat is the ‘Mann Ki Baat of millions of Indians and the expression of their emotions,” PM Modi said.

The programme, which started on October 3, 2014, has become a key pillar of the government’s citizen-outreach programme addressing multiple social groups such as women, youth, and farmers and has spurred community action. (ANI)
