The shoot for the cop drama was flagged off on Saturday in the presence of the director, actor, and Ranveer Singh, who plays Simmba in Rohit's cop universe.

Ajay took to his Instagram on Saturday to post two pictures from the mahurat of Singham Again. The first picture saw him and Ranveer join hands as Rohit burst a coconut on the floor as part of a ritual. 

Ajay was seen in a dark blue shirt and blue denims, along with a brown belt. Ranveer was seen in a light grey shirt, dark grey trousers, and a black belt. 

Rohit wore a white T-shirt, topped with a dark blue shirt, and faded, torn denim. All three men were seen joining hands in the second picture, standing next to each other, while wearing solemn expressions and red tilaks on their foreheads.

Ajay wrote in the caption, “12 years ago, we gave Indian Cinema its biggest cinematic Cop Universe. With all the love we have received over the years, the force got stronger and the Singham family got bigger. Today we come together to take our franchise ahead with Singham Again!”
