Singham Again, the latest installment in the Cop Universe, featured a number of old and new characters who came together. Deepika Padukone has been introduced as Shakti Shetty aka Lady Singham. Now, director Rohit Shetty has given an update on the standalone film with Deepika’s character. He shared that he didn’t know yet where they could go with the concept they had in mind.

In a recent conversation with News18 Showsha, Rohit Shetty revealed why it took so long for a female cop to be introduced in his cinematic universe. In response, Rohit shared that he was waiting to have the right script and launch for the character. He even stated that he wasn’t sure about there being a Cop Universe till 2018. Rohit mentioned that the idea to bring in a female cop came to him during the making of Akshay Kumar starrer Sooryavanshi.

Talking about the standalone film with Deepika Padukone, Rohit said that it hadn’t been written yet. He continued, “We do have a concept in mind but we don’t know where we can go with it.” The filmmaker added that it would take time.

Regarding the character Shakti Shetty, Rohit disclosed, “I know what the character will be like and her basic story arc but I don’t know her whole journey yet as a director or writer.”

He asserted that a film led by Lady Singham would surely be made, otherwise she wouldn’t have been introduced in the universe. Rohit mentioned that there was a reason behind the focus on her character in the latest movie Singham Again.

In 2023, Rohit Shetty unveiled the first look of Deepika Padukone as Lady Singham. In the caption, he wrote, “NAARI SITA KA BHI ROOP HAI AUR DURGA KA BHI… (Woman is the form of Sita and also of Durga). MEET THE MOST BRUTAL AND VIOLENT OFFICER OF OUR COP UNIVERSE… SHAKTI SHETTY… MY LADY SINGHAM… DEEPIKA PADUKONE.”

The cast of Singham Again also includes Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, and Jackie Shroff. The film is currently running in theaters.

Amid Threats Of Protests, Brampton Triveni Temple Cancels Consular Event

Nov 12, 2024 · 9:23 AM Blog

Amid fears of an “extremely high level of violent protests,” the Brampton Triveni Mandir and Community Centre has cancelled a Life Certificate Event.

The event, a consular camp, was scheduled to take place on November 17, where Indian-origin Hindus and Sikhs could renew essential life certificates.

The temple administration issued a statement on Monday, saying, “Please be advised that the Life Certificate Event scheduled at Brampton Triveni Mandir by the Indian Consulate on November 17, 2024, has been cancelled. This is due to official intelligence from Peel Regional Police, stating that there is an Extremely High and Imminent Threat Level of violent protests.”

The authorities appologized to the community members, stating, “We apologize to all community members who were depending on the event. We are deeply saddened that Canadians now feel unsafe coming to Hindu Temples in Canada.”

“We call on Peel Police to address the threats being circulated against Brampton Triveni Mandir and provide security guarantees to the Canadian Hindu Community and the general public,” the temple administration added.

Brampton Triveni Mandir and Community Centre is a spiritual place for the gathering of all Hindus and like-minded people gather to participate in Puja, Kirtan, Sewa and Pravachan.

On November 3, an Indian consular camp at the Hindu Sabha Temple in Brampton, near Toronto, witnessed a “violent disruption”. The incident sparked widespread criticism in and outside Canada.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the “deliberate attack” on Hindu temple in Canada and said that “cowardly attempts to intimidate” Indian diplomats were appalling and New Delhi expects Canadian authorities to ensure justice and uphold rule of law.

“I strongly condemn the deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Canada. Equally appalling are the cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats. Such acts of violence will never weaken India’s resolve. We expect the Canadian government to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law,” PM Modi said on X.

The ties between India and Canada took sharp downturn following Canadian leaders making allegations without providing evidence about an assassination on their soil.
