    Ranveer Singh has never shied away from praising his wife, Deepika Padukone. Padukone will be seen in a completely different avatar in the upcoming movie ‘Singham Again’. She will step into the shoes of Shakti Shetty, a badass cop in the movie. Pictures of the ‘Piku’ actress looking menacing and deranged in a police outfit went viral earlier.

    On the work front, Singh will next be seen in ‘Don 3’. The film is not a spiritual successor to ‘Don 2’, but is a brand new reboot of the franchise. He will replace Shah Rukh Khan as Mark Donald, a drug kingpin who is wanted by the police of several countries. The iconic role has been played by SRK and Amitabh Bachchan respectively. Just like the earlier two films, this movie will also be helmed by Farhan Akhtar. He is also in talks to star as the titular character in the superhero movie ‘Shaktimaan’. The film will be a big-screen adaptation of the ‘90s hit superhero TV series.

    Padukone will next be seen opposite Telugu superstar Prabhas in the sci-fi adventure drama ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. The movie will also star Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Disha Patani, and Mrunal Thakur.
