Bollywood
star
Ajay
Devgn
on
Thursday
marked
10
years
of
his
blockbuster
cop-drama
Singham
and
said
the
film
is
a
salute
to
the
police
force
of
the
country.
Directed
by
Rohit
Shetty,
Singham
was
a
remake
of
the
2010
Tamil
film
of
the
same
name
helmed
by
Hari
Gopalakrishnan.
The
Hindi
version
featured
Devgn
as
the
fearless
police
inspector
Bajirao
Singham.
Singham
also
starred
Kajal
Aggarwal
and
Prakash
Raj
as
the
main
antagonist.
Devgn
took
to
Instagram
and
shared
a
clip
from
the
film,
writing
its
popular
dialogue,
"Jismein
hai
dum,
toh
fakt
Bajirao
Singham"
(Bajirao
Singham
is
the
only
one
with
courage).
"'Singham'
is
not
just
a
film.
It
is
a
passion,
an
emotion.
It
is
a
salute
to
our
police
force
who
selflessly,
with
complete
sincerity
and
honesty,
are
serving
the
nation," the
52-year-old
wrote.
Devgn
also
thanked
the
film's
team
for
mounting
such
a
memorable
project.
"I
want
to
thank
the
team
and
all
the
fans
for
the
super
successful
10
years
of
'Singham'.
And
dedicate
it
to
all
the
frontline
workers
out
there," he
added.
The
film's
success
led
to
Shetty
and
Devgn
making
a
sequel,
Singham
Returns,
which
released
in
2014
and
also
featured
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan.
Shetty
then
directed
a
spin-off
to
Singham
in
2018,
titled
Simmba.
The
film
with
a
cameo
by
Devgn
was
headlined
by
Ranveer
Singh,
featuring
as
Simmba
Bhalerao,
a
corrupt
cop
hailing
from
Shivgarh,
the
same
town
as
Singham.
Shetty
is
currently
awaiting
the
release
of
Sooryavanshi,
a
part
of
his
"cop
universe"
films
Singham
and
Simmba.
Sooryavanshi
features
superstar
Akshay
Kumar
as
a
cop,
with
Devgn
and
Singh
joining
him
in
extended
cameos.
