The much-anticipated action film Singham Again, starring Ajay Devgn and directed by Rohit Shetty, is set to be a blockbuster Diwali release. However, despite the excitement surrounding the film’s release, it has encountered a series of international challenges. Following a recent ban in Saudi Arabia, Singham Again* has now faced another setback in Singapore, where it will release a week later than planned.
Initially set to premiere on November 1, *Singham Again* has been postponed to November 7 in Singapore due to delays with the censorship board, which has developed a reputation for rigorous content standards. According to sources, the board’s strict evaluation process left the filmmakers with no choice but to reschedule. Singapore’s board is known for its meticulous approach, which has impacted the release of other films in the past as well.
This delay follows a similar restriction in Saudi Arabia, where *Singham Again* and another Diwali release, *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3*, starring Kartik Aaryan, have both faced bans. Reports indicate that the Saudi authorities objected to *Singham Again* on religious grounds, while *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3* encountered issues around themes of homosexuality. The film’s team has yet to respond publicly to these international hurdles, but they continue to focus on securing a successful release across other regions.

Despite these restrictions, *Singham Again* is still on track for a massive worldwide release. The film will debut across 1,900 screens globally, including record-breaking rollouts in regions like Fiji, Australia, and New Zealand. In North America alone, it is set to be shown in over 760 theaters, while Canadian audiences will enjoy it on a significant number of Sinplex screens. Additionally, the UK and Ireland will screen the film in 224 cinemas.
Meanwhile, *Singham Again* and *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3* are set to go head-to-head in a highly anticipated Diwali box office battle. As advance bookings roll in, *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3* has taken an early lead. However, experts anticipate that *Singham Again*, backed by Devgn’s fan base and Shetty’s directorial prowess, could ultimately outperform *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3* in terms of revenue.
With both films carrying substantial star power and popularity, this Diwali will indeed be one to watch, with audiences eagerly awaiting to see which will emerge as the ultimate box-office victor.
