The team of Singham Again is moving at a brisk pace towards the finish line. Earlier this month, Ajay Devgn, Rohit Shetty and Kareena Kapoor Khan wrapped up a 45-day schedule at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad before calling for a break. Tomorrow, the leading man and the director are expected to resume work on the action fare with a three-day schedule in the city.

We hear Shetty has set the stage for a critical action sequence that plays out at a fair, in the narrative. A source reveals, "The setting-up of a funfair was underway in Madh Island over the week. Tomorrow, Ajay will begin filming the set-piece. Over 100 actors have been roped in as the mela scene requires a huge crowd. Rohit and Ajay plan to wrap up this portion by November 21, after which they will move on to filming major scenes in the city over the next 15 days."

Singham Again, the third instalment in the Singham franchise, is turning out to be a star-studded action extravaganza. While Devgn and Kareena Kapoor Khan reprise their roles of Bajirao Singham and Avni Kamat respectively, the duo will be joined by Akshay Kumar's Veer Sooryavanshi and Ranveer Singh's Sangram Bhalerao aka Simmba. Deepika Padukone and Tiger Shroff will mark their entry into Shetty's cop universe with this film.
