Ajay Devgn, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh’s ‘Singham Again’ International Distribution Rights Acquired by Phars Film (EXCLUSIVE)

As a die-hard Bollywood enthusiast with decades of film-watching under my belt, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement at the news that “Singham Again” is set to hit international theaters! The Rohit Shetty cop universe has been an absolute rollercoaster ride, and the addition of this new installment promises to be nothing short of spectacular.


Phars Film has secured the international cinema distribution rights for “Singham Again,” an upcoming blockbuster film from Jio Studios, a content division of Reliance Industries Limited led by billionaire Mukesh Ambani. This action-packed suspense movie, directed by successful director Rohit Shetty, is expected to be one of the most significant Bollywood releases in 2024.

In this paragraph, we’re discussing the fifth installment in Shetty’s well-known cop series. This franchise originated from Hari’s 2010 Tamil movie “Singam,” featuring Suriya. The journey began with “Singham” (2011) and “Singham Returns” (2014), where the main character was Bajirao Singham, a straightforward DCP from Shivgarh, a town near the Goa-Maharashtra border. “Simmba” (2018) brought attention to Sangram “Simmba” Bhalerao, a morally questionable inspector hailing from Singham’s hometown. The series continued with “Sooryavanshi” (2021), introducing Akshay Kumar as Veer Sooryavanshi, another DCP character.

In the sequel “Singham Returns”, stars like Devgn, Singh, Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Jackie Shroff, Tiger Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor make up an impressive lineup.

PHF and Moviegoers Entertainment are collaborating to release this movie in various countries worldwide, with the exception of the Middle East, where PHF will manage the distribution independently. Together, they aim to secure around 1,500 screens outside of India for the film’s screening.

The movie ‘Singham Returns’ is brought to you by Jio Studios, in collaboration with Rohit Shetty Picturez, Ajay Devgn Productions, Reliance Entertainment, and Madman Ventures. This production is spearheaded by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, and Rohit Shetty.

The film is due to release worldwide on Nov. 1, during the Diwali festival holiday frame.

Ahmad Golchin, head of Phars Film, stated: “This year’s most anticipated film, ‘Singham Again’, is a massive production with an extravagant budget, potentially the costliest movie of 2022. The excitement among fans for this pulse-pounding action epic directed by Rohit Shetty, featuring a star-studded cast from Bollywood’s elite, is palpable. In partnership with Moviegoers Entertainment, we will be releasing ‘Singham Again’ globally, given their proven success with big-budget films. We look forward to audiences worldwide joining us in the cinemas to enjoy ‘Singham Again’ this festive season.

Jyoti Deshpande, head of media and content for Reliance Industries Limited, stated: “The excitement for this big-budget action movie with a celebrity cast is noticeable all around the world. I am certain that our collaboration will ensure optimal distribution and presentation of the film to viewers and enthusiasts worldwide.

According to Pranab Kapadia, founder and director of Moviegoers Entertainment, our collaboration with Phars Film has resulted in some of the most significant, worldwide box office successes in recent times. We are eagerly anticipating the deployment of an international distribution strategy for ‘Singham Again’, which we believe will optimize both impact and returns at the box office by employing a strategic and focused approach.
