On October 7, 2024, the much-anticipated teaser for Singham Again debuted, showcasing a star-studded cast that included Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, and Deepika Padukone. While reviews of the teaser have been both complimentary and varied, Deepika Padukone’s portrayal has unexpectedly caused a backlash among internet users.
Deepika Criticized for Her Accent in Singham Again
Fans were upset by Deepika’s portrayal of “Shakti Shetty” in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, primarily because of what they perceived as an exaggerated accent and forced expressions. Many viewers made comparisons to her previous performance in Shetty’s other film, Chennai Express, as “Meenamma,” where her accent received similar criticism.
A comment on social media said, “I’m sad for Deepika. This time, not even she can save it. If she succeeds, though, she becomes the ultimate goddess. “Husband and wife scammed a honeymoon trip out of Scorpio Shetty,” jokingly said someone else. One comment was even more critical, saying, “Never thought someone could act worse after Arjun Kapoor and Tiger.” Deepika, congratulations.
Despite Criticism, Singham Again Trailer Breaks Records
The Singham Again teaser created history by being the most-watched Hindi film trailer in a single day, garnering an astounding 138 million views across several platforms, despite fans’ disapproval of Deepika’s performance. On YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram, it became the top trend.
On the other hand, a few moviegoers felt that the almost five-minute trailer revealed too much about the movie. A clever YouTuber said, “This is merely a preview. My friend, the real caravan won’t be out until later.
Celebs Praise Singham Again Despite Mixed Fan Reactions
Bollywood celebrities have been very favourable, despite the fact that fans have differing opinions about the teaser. Celebrities including Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, Alia Bhatt, and Bhumi Pednekar heaped admiration on the movie and its ensemble.
Vicky Kaushal posted the teaser on Instagram, referring to it as a “tod fod Visfotak trailer.” Katrina Kaif expressed her enthusiasm with the same words, calling it “Outstanding… looking spectacular.”
Janhvi Kapoor tweeted, “@arjunkapoor what is this madness! “about her brother Arjun Kapoor, who portrays the antagonist in the movie. We’re excited. We have taken a seat. We are impatient.
