The recently released trailer of Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham Again’ has left fans buzzing, but not all the feedback is positive. While the movie boasts an impressive star cast featuring Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, and others, Deepika’s portrayal of a police officer has come under sharp criticism. Fans, who were eagerly waiting to see her in action as Lady Singham, have expressed disappointment, with many comparing her speaking style to her popular character Meenamma from ‘Chennai Express’.
Audience Reactions: A ‘Cringe’ Factor?
Social media was quickly flooded with reactions to Deepika’s character, with users expressing their discontent. Some netizens felt that her style in ‘Singham Again’ resembled Meenamma’s exaggerated mannerisms, leading to comments like, “She is still in the ‘Chennai Express’ zone” and “Worst performance of her career”. Despite the action-packed trailer, it seems her portrayal didn’t resonate with a section of the audience.

One notable comment on X (formerly Twitter) stated, “Even Arjun Kapoor performed better!”, hinting that her role was less impressive than expected. Another fan joked about her chemistry with Tiger Shroff, saying, “It’s like ‘buy one, get one free'”. There are also concerns from some that Deepika’s recent career choices, starting from her role in ‘Chhapaak’, may not lead her to significant future successes.
Singham Again Release Date
The movie, part of Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe, is set to hit theatres on 1 November 2024, just in time for Diwali. Whether fans will change their minds once they see the full film remains to be seen, but for now, Deepika’s ‘Lady Singham’ avatar has created a stir.
