Development

In September 2017, Rohit Shetty, while announcing his next directorial venture with Ranveer Singh, revealed that a third installment of the Singham film franchise would be made. Written and directed by him, he revealed that it would feature Ajay Devgn but did not reveal when production would begin.[3] In January 2020, Devgn hinted that works for the third installment of the franchise, tentatively titled as Singham 3, was in progress.[4] In March that year, Akshay Kumar, who previously acted in Shetty's Sooryavanshi (2021) which is a part of Cop Universe along with the Singham franchise, was reported to reprise his role from the film.[5] Later in January 2021, production for the film was reported to begin after Shetty finishes works for Cirkus in 2022, and Jackie Shroff was reported to play the main antagonist.[6] Along with Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh was also reported in November to reprise his role from the 2018 film Simmba.[7] On 1 December 2022, the collaboration of Shetty and Devgn was announced by the production houses, and the official title Singham Again was announced. Production was set to commence after Devgn finished Bholaa (2023).[8]

Filming

Principal photography commenced on 16 September 2023 with a muhuratam puja held at Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai. The first schedule was held at the same location.[9] Ranveer Singh was also part of this schedule. Shweta Tiwari also joined the sets.[10] Kareena Kapoor joined the sets on 23 September.[11]

The second schedule commenced on 5 October in Hyderabad where major portion of the film including high action packed climax was shot with all the cast members.[12] Kareena Kapoor joined the sets on 6 October.[13] Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor too joined the sets. Akshay Kumar wrapped his portion on 15 October.[14] Ranveer Singh wrapped his portion on 20 October.[15] 2nd schedule wrapped on 7 November. [16]

Filming resumed on 19 November at Madh Island to shoot an action scene that plays out at a fair. Over 100 actors were roped in as the scene required a huge crowd. In the last week of November, An elaborate action scene was shot with Ajay Devgn and Ranveer at the Golden Tobbaco Factory in Vile Parle.[17] It also featured a crowd of 150-200 people, and some car explosions. Ajay Devgn was also injured in his eye while shooting this scene.[18] Filming then moved to Film City where a fight scene was shot set in the backdrop of an Ashram. Kareena Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor also shot a scene at night.[19]
