Singham -2 : Singh roars Again

Superstar Ajay Devgn is all set to reprise the role of Bajirao Singham in Rohit Shetty's second installment of Singham which was a blockbuster hit (2011).

The film which received immense appreciation and Box Office success has compelled Rohit Shetty and his team to make a sequel of the same.

Singham to quite an extent changed the perception of how we come across our Indian Police Force. To honor this change in perception the makers of the film have come up with a two minute video where real policemen/women have shared their thoughts on how the film gave them a new recognition and there are several policemen in the department who work for their people day in and day out and this film has broken all barriers!

In fact, people now address the men in uniform as Singham!!!

This video is an ode to tall the Policemen/women who are serving the nation and keeping their city first then their family!
