Recently, Deepika Padukone received recognition for her noteworthy performance in the Shah Rukh Khan film Jawan. The actress is currently working on Singham Again, a movie set in Rohit Shetty’s cop universe. Just a few weeks prior, the filmmaker had announced the start of the movie’s production. Deepika’s long-awaited first appearance in the film, in which she plays the tough officer Shakti Shetty, has now been made public.
This morning, director Rohit Shetty presented Deepika Padukone’s first look from Singham Again. This declaration makes the 37-year-old Bollywood actress’ entrance into Rohit Shetty’s copverse official. In the movie, Deepika’s character will be played by actresses Ranveer Singh and Ajay Devgn and will be referred to as Shakti Shetty.
Deepika Padukone revealed two exquisite photos of her look from the movie Singham Again on her Instagram on Sunday, October 15.
