Dussehra fire-starters

Rohit Shetty and his team are getting ready to showcase Singham Again in cinemas this Diwali. But before that, the filmmaker and his star cast are set to unleash the fireworks on Dussehra. The trailer shows that the action drama draws parallels with the mythological epic, Ramayana, which was reported in mid-day (Singham and his sena go to Lanka, Sept 26). In keeping with the movie’s narrative, the Lav Kush Ramlila Committee has invited the Singham Again director and his cast to join in the Vijayadashmi celebrations. So, come Saturday, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor and Tiger Shroff will accompany Rohit to Lal Quila Maidan, said to be the world’s largest Ramlila ground for the Raavan-dahan (burning of the effigy of the demon king) festivities. Akshay Kumar and Jackie Shroff, who are filming Housefull 5 aboard a cruise liner in Europe, will be conspicuous by their absence. It remains to be seen whether Deepika Padukone, who plays Lady Singham in the film, will join her co-actors for the keenly-awaited promotional outing.
