New Delhi:
Actor Sunny Deol has not replaced Ajay Devgn in the next film of the
Singham series, Rohit Shetty said in a statement, reports news agency IANS. Rohit Shetty, who directed Ajay Devgn in two
Singham films told IANS that the copyright of the Bollywood
Singham franchise is with him and that as of now a third film is not in the pipeline. "Yes all copyrights are with us to make any films as part of the
Singham franchise as well as use the name in the film titles, hope this clears the recent rumours on the same," Rohit Shetty said. The Rohit Shetty-directed
Singham films were inspired from Suriya's Tamil
Singam franchise. However, recent reports suggested that Sunny Deol has been cast in the remake of Suriya's
Si3, which will be a standalone Bollywood film.
"We would like to inform once again and reiterate that all titles, copyrights and trademarks relating to the Bollywood
Singham franchise belong solely to Reliance Entertainment in its whole. News of any other production house or film entity reporting to make
Singham 3 or any feature film on
Singham is inaccurate and baseless," he added.
Rohit Shetty's next film with Ajay Devgn is
Golmaal Again, fourth film in the
Golmaal series. The film is expected to release on Diwali.
Golmaal Again will be Ajay Devgn's second release of the year after
Baadshaho, which released on Friday. The film opened to lukewarm reviews and collected over Rs 12 crore on the opening day.
