Ajay on the success of the film
In an interview with ANI, Ajay reflected on the success of Singham Again.
“I am thankful to the audience for giving us so much love. For a long time, the police were always shown in a negative light in films. Singham as well as Gangaajal was one of the first films that showed how an ideal police officer should be. After that, it became a trend of making positive films about police,” Ajay said.
During the conversation, he also praised Arjun Kapoor, who is seen in a negative role in the role. Ajay said, “We all are really happy. Finally, Arjun is getting his due as an actor. Pehle kaafi log kuch ulta seedha bol rahe the (Earlier, many people passed demeaning remarks against him), but (Arjun, with his performance, proved them wrong). He proved himself again…For Arjun, the success of Singham Again has come at the right point.”
