In the previous two installments of Singham, the recurring motif has been the fight between good and evil, with Ajay Devgn's character, Bajirao Singham, speaking out against wrongdoing. No tale in Indian epics does a better job of expressing this idea than the Ramayana. It should come as no surprise then that Rohit Shetty has drawn inspiration from the legendary epic for his next film. Midday has reported references to the Ramayana in Singham Again, the third film in the series.

Inspiration from the Ramayana for Singham Again

An insider informed the tabloid that filmmakers have drawn inspiration from the Ramayana epic for many years. Rohit hoped that Singham Again, deeply rooted in the culture, would offer viewers something new. They also have said that the classic epic in which righteousness triumphs over evil served as an inspiration for Ajay's cop caper.

In addition to Tiger Shroff, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Arjun Kapoor, the Diwali release also has special cameos from Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh. Someone else in the know says that Raavan was the inspiration for Arjun's enemy avatar.

The source went on to say that Arjun portrays a militant in the action movie. Ajay's character Singham and his entourage of police officers will journey to Sri Lanka to face the antagonist.

Meanwhile, Pinkvilla earlier reported that every character in Singham Again serves a purpose, making it more than merely a multiverse film. The plot that Rohit and his writers crafted for the film encompasses the lives of Simmba, Sooryavanshi, Lady Singham, and Satya with relative ease. The trailer for Singham Again, which premieres in October, will give the audience a preview of the film's expansive universe. 

Ranveer Singh’s key role in expanding the Universe

It has been rumoured that Ranveer, who plays Simmba, has been filming for more than 50 days and plays a significant role in the plot. Singham Again establishes the future of the cop universe timeline by introducing numerous subplots involving Simmba, Sooryavanshi, Lady Singham, and Satya as well. The insider continued by suggesting that the third installment of the Singham trilogy, featuring Ajay Devgn as Bajirao Singham, could potentially serve as the MCU's response to the first of many Avengers films.

Ajay is reprising his role as the irate police officer Bajirao Singham, while Rohit Shetty has given the actor the heroic role that Hindi cinema has been lacking for some time. The visual effects are now under production, and assets will begin to trickle out approximately 30 to 35 days before the Diwali release. People are predicting that it will be the most successful Singham film to date and the highest grossing police drama in Hindi cinema history.
