The Singham Again trailer is out, and fans are buzzing with excitement over the latest installment in Rohit Shetty’s action-packed universe. What sets this film apart is the way it draws inspiration from one of India’s greatest epics, the Ramayana. The trailer hints at parallels between the film’s characters and those from the ancient tale. Let’s dive into which roles from Singham Again are inspired by the characters from the Ramayana.
Ajay Devgan as Ram
In Singham Again, Ajay Devgan’s character is modeled after Lord Ram. The trailer shows him heading to Sri Lanka, reminiscent of Ram’s journey to rescue Sita. He finds an item belonging to his wife, similar to how Ram found Sita’s jewelry. Ajay’s character is the hero of the film, and his journey mirrors Ram’s mission to defeat Ravana and restore justice.
Kareena Kapoor as Sita
Kareena Kapoor’s role in the film is inspired by Sita, Ram’s wife in the Ramayana. Her character is kidnapped by the villain, just as Sita was taken by Ravana in the epic. Singham’s son even says in the trailer, “Papa, if a villain like Ravana takes away mother, you will save her,” cementing her connection to Sita’s character.
Arjun Kapoor as Ravana
Arjun Kapoor plays the main antagonist, a modern-day Ravana, who kidnaps Kareena Kapoor’s character. In Singham Again, Arjun’s role as Ravana is evident as he flaunts his power and declares, “I am the Ravana of your Ramayana.” The trailer shows scenes reminiscent of Ram’s battle to defeat Ravana and rescue Sita, with Singham preparing to destroy his empire.
Tiger Shroff as Lakshman
Tiger Shroff’s character in the film takes inspiration from Lakshman, Ram’s devoted younger brother. A woman in the trailer mentions that Tiger’s character wanted to live with Singham just like Lakshman stayed by Ram’s side. This shows the brotherly bond and loyalty, linking Tiger to Lakshman in this high-octane action drama.
Ranveer Singh as Hanuman
Ranveer Singh’s energetic portrayal of Simba is inspired by none other than Hanuman, the loyal devotee of Ram. His introduction in the trailer is marked by chants of “Jai Hanuman” and shows the idol of Lord Hanuman in the background. Ranveer’s dynamic entry and devotion to Ajay Devgan’s character reinforce his connection to Hanuman’s loyalty and strength.
Akshay Kumar as Jatayu
Akshay Kumar’s cameo at the end of the trailer is striking. His character from Suryavanshi enters the scene just as the image of Jatayu appears. In the Ramayana, Jatayu fought to protect Sita when Ravana abducted her and helped Ram and Lakshman in their quest. Similarly, Akshay Kumar’s role is to aid Singham in his battle, drawing a clear parallel to Jatayu.
A Star-Studded Cast
The trailer of Singham Again showcases an ensemble cast with Bollywood stars like Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, and Tiger Shroff, each playing pivotal roles inspired by the Ramayana. The film’s epic scale and intense action sequences blend mythology with modern-day cinema, bringing a fresh twist to traditional storytelling.
