Singham Again’s Strong Start
Despite its current standing, Singham Again is expected to catch up quickly. The film, directed by Rohit Shetty, features a stellar ensemble cast that includes not only Ajay Devgn but also Kareena Kapoor Khan and Deepika Padukone. The anticipation surrounding its release is palpable, and with more screens allocated to it than to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, industry experts believe it may ultimately achieve higher opening numbers.
