Singham will be Ajay Devgn’s first release of 2011 and the actor is ‘ferociously’ excited about the action film, his favourite genre which he is doing after a long time...

The successful team of Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty is back once again, this time with an action film. The duo’s attempt at comedy has worked wonders with the Golmaal series becoming a brand. Of the six films that they have done together since 2003 (Zameen, Golmaal, Sunday, Golmaal Returns, All The Best and Golmaal 3), only Zameen was an actioner while the rest were rib-ticklers. Now with Singham, both, the actor and director, try their hands at their favourite genre, action. While Ajay began his career as an action star 20 years ago with Phool Aur Kaante, Rohit is popular for his brilliant stunt scenes even in his comedy films. As is known, Singham is the remake of the successful 2010 Tamil film starring superstar Suriya, with the same title. Like him, Ajay too plays a cop, in a small-town in Maharashtra. “Rohit and I have been wanting to make an action film for a long time but we were not getting the right script. When we saw the Tamil film, we were convinced that this is what we wanted to do.
