With anticipation already brewing about the massively talented ensemble, the wait for ‘Singham Again’ seemed too long. While many of the roles were disclosed, the question of who would be playing the ‘bad guy’ remained unanswered. While fans had many speculations and their own theories, filmmaker Rohit Shetty has finally announced who would be taking on the role of a villain in the much-awaited cop film.
Shetty has officially affirmed the speculations: Arjun Kapoor is set to portray the antagonist in the upcoming movie, against five cops. The director took to his social media handles, unveiling two intense photos of the actor in his menacing character to make the exciting announcement. The first image showcased Arjun’s face fully covered in blood, wearing a wickedly fierce smile, while the other captured him face-to-face with Ranveer Singh, who is reprising his role as Simmba in the movie.
Sharing the photos, Rohit captioned it, “Insaan galati karta hai, aur usse uski saza bhi milti hai… Lekin ab jo aayega, wo shaitaan hai! CAN I SAY – INTRODUCING ARJUN KAPOOR!”
