However, Deepika Padukone's role as SP Shakthi Shetty has not been as warmly received. Many felt her performance was underwhelming for such a pivotal character. One viewer stated, "#SinghamAgain It has been watched and #DeepikaPadukone is total misfit in the character. Rohit Shetty needs to up his game. For me, the film was just an average affair."

Another viewer felt the film was lacking in depth, writing, "#SinghamAgain is just a flashy attempt at an action flick with no real story. It's hard to feel any connection to the characters when there's no depth or engaging storyline."

The ensemble cast includes Kareena Kapoor as Singham's wife, Deepika Padukone in her Lady Singham debut, as well as Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, Ravi Kishan, and Ranveer Singh. With the combined star power and Shetty's trademark action sequences, Singham Again is set to become one of Diwali's biggest attractions.
