Grateful beyond words for the trust he’s shown in me when not many were willing to, and for creating a character so close to his vision that the audiences have loved. This journey of becoming Danger Lanka has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you, @itsrohitshetty sir and team, for making every moment on set unforgettable. I’d do this all over again in a heartbeat! #SinghamAgain.”

Arjun Kapoor calls Singham Again his ‘rebirth’ as an actor 

The action-drama franchise, headlined by Ajay Devgn, is the third film in the Singham series, which started with 2011’s Singham and was followed by Singham Returns in 2014. “I’m happy people are liking my work… Now is the new starting point. The rebirth or the redemption, whatever you want to call it, I think it starts now,” the actor told PTI in an interview.

Kapoor, who plays the modern day version of Raavan, named Danger Lanka, in the movie, said he has always been a fan of Shetty’s work, including hits like Golmaal, Singham, and Simmba. He was thrilled to be approached for the role. “He trusted me and he took that chance and I hope I repaid his faith. I loved working on the film.” The 39-year-old actor, who made his debut in 2012 with Ishaqzaade, about two enemies-turned-star-crossed lovers, said the offer for Singham Again came at the right time in his life. “I was looking at a challenge and an opportunity to prove and push myself and grab my chance in a competitive environment… I thought this was the right opportunity.” Kapoor has portrayed characters of varying shades right from the beginning whether it was his debut film or movies like Ek Villian, Gunday, and Aurangzeb. But the actor said his portrayal in Singham Again gave him a chance to go all the way out.
