In a compelling and revealing segment on the latest episode of *Bigg Boss 18*, Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn candidly discussed a significant eye injury he suffered while filming his highly anticipated movie, *Singham Again*. Ajay, accompanied by the film's director Rohit Shetty, made a special appearance on the popular reality show to promote the third installment of the beloved *Singham* franchise, which has garnered a massive following since its inception.
During a heartfelt conversation with host Salman Khan, Ajay recounted the unfortunate details surrounding his injury, which led to both temporary vision loss and the need for surgery. The actor looked effortlessly stylish in a black shirt layered beneath a sleek leather jacket, perfectly paired with tailored trousers and shoes. His dark sunglasses added an air of mystery, contrasting with the serious nature of the topic at hand.
When Salman inquired about the incident by asking, “Aankh pe jo chot lagi thi yahi pe lagi thi kya?” (Was the eye injury you suffered during this film?), Rohit quickly confirmed the grim reality, stating, “Hann iss film pe” (Yes, on this film). The atmosphere became somber as Salman elaborated on the mishap, recalling, “Ajay showed me a scene where there was a mistiming. Someone was supposed to hit him with a stick, but the timing was off, and it struck him directly in the eye.”
Ajay further elaborated on the severity of the situation, admitting, “Do-teen mahine toh vision chali gayi thi” (I actually lost my vision for two or three months). His revelation highlighted the risks and hazards inherent in action filmmaking, a genre known for its demanding stunts and high-octane sequences. He also mentioned the surgery he underwent, underscoring the serious nature of his injury and the challenges faced by action stars in the industry.
As the conversation continued, Salman made a poignant remark, stating, “Action karoge toh ye sab hota rehta hai” (These things happen when you do action scenes), acknowledging the unpredictable nature of performing stunts. Ajay responded with a sense of perspective, noting, “Abhi toh phirbhi kaafi asaan hogaya hai aajkal k ladko k liye” (Nowadays, it's much easier for the younger actors). This observation opened the door for a nostalgic discussion about the evolution of action sequences in cinema. Both Ajay and Rohit reflected on the old days when stunts were performed without the benefits of advanced technology, cables, or CGI enhancements, emphasizing how safety measures have improved over the years.
*Singham Again*, directed by the ever-popular Rohit Shetty, marks the highly awaited return of Ajay Devgn in the iconic role of Bajirao Singham, a character that has become synonymous with fearless heroism in Indian cinema. The film promises to deliver gripping action sequences and engaging storytelling, central to the franchise’s appeal. Fans can look forward to seeing Salman Khan in a special cameo, which is sure to add an extra layer of excitement to the narrative.
The star-studded ensemble cast for *Singham Again* includes some of Bollywood's biggest names, such as Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor. The plot is expected to delve into the classic theme of 'good versus evil,' a timeless narrative that resonates with audiences across generations.
This third installment is particularly significant as it follows the immense success of the previous films, *Singham* (2011) and *Singham Returns* (2014), both of which achieved remarkable box office figures and critical acclaim. As *Singham Again* gears up for a Diwali release, anticipation continues to mount among fans and industry insiders alike.
