Time for some more action

The director, who is known for comedies, is coming out with an action movie after eight years and the cop movie will land up in theatres on July 22.

The first look of the film has been released along with Salman Khan-Asin starrer ‘Ready’. Ajay is said to have requested good friend Salman to attach Singham’s trailer with ‘Ready’. 

Reliance Entertainment’s Singham is set in Maharashtra and Ajay Devgan is seen playing a local Marathi cop, Bajirao Singham. The movie also stars Southern beauty Kajal Aggarwal as the romantic lead opposite Ajay Devgan.

Shetty’s debut film Zameen that came in 2003 was an action thriller and he had teamed up Abhishek Bachchan and Bipasha Basu with Ajay for the movie, which got a lukewarm response at the box office. After that the director shifted his focus on comedies and churned out hits one after the other — Golmaal franchise, ‘Sunday’ and ‘All The Best: Fun Begins’.

Singham is his second action film in eight years. If the director enjoys making fun flicks, he loves shooting elaborate action sequences, which were a must even in all of his comedies.
