As a devoted cinephile with over two decades of cinematic journey under my belt, I must say that the news of Singh is Kinng 2 sends a wave of excitement coursing through me. The original was a riot, and I’ve always been intrigued by the potential of its sequel.
The beloved action comedy “Singh is Kinng” (released in 2008 and starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif) is reportedly getting a sequel, with director Shailendra Singh already working on it. He’s also shared some intriguing insights, mentioning Ranveer Singh and Diljit Dosanjh as his top candidates to star in “Singh is Kinng 2.
During a chat with Midday, Shailendra Singh disclosed that he initially gave the movie’s name to Akshay Kumar but later asked for it back so he could create a sequel. He mentioned that the title was given back to him three years ago. Shailendra then expressed, “I have initiated the production of Singh Is Kinng 2. I plan to start filming in October 2025 with the intention of releasing it in 2026.
Discussing the impetus for creating Singh is Kinng 2, the producer revealed that sequels and remakes are popular right now. He hinted at potential titles such as Singh Is Kinng 2 or Singh Is Kinng Returns. Additionally, Shailendra unveiled plans to introduce a fresh character instead of using the same protagonist name, Happy Singh, from the initial installment.
Apart from other topics, Shailendra mentioned his preferred actor for the leading role. He expressed that Ranveer Singh was his top pick, as they had already reached out to his representatives. In his opinion, Ranveer’s vibrant personality, mischievous charm, and playful demeanor align perfectly with the character. Additionally, Shailendra noted that Ranveer has yet to portray a Sardar on screen.
In a subsequent statement, it was mentioned that if negotiations with Ranveer don’t pan out, then Diljit Dosanjh would be an acceptable alternative. The filmmaker ultimately expressed his preference for either Priyadarshan or Anees Bazmee to direct the project.
Initially, the movie titled “Singh is Kinng” was directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah. Besides Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, this film featured an ensemble cast that included Sonu Sood, Om Puri, Neha Dhupia, Ranvir Shorey, and Jaaved Jaaferi.
