The 2008 action comedy Singh is Kinng, starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, is one of the most loved movies to date. It has now been learned that filmmaker Shailendra Singh has started work on its sequel. He also spilled some exciting details and revealed that Ranveer Singh and Diljit Dosanjh are his top choices to headline Singh is Kinng 2.

In a recent conversation with Midday, Shailendra Singh shared that he had gifted the film’s title to Akshay Kumar and later asked back for it since he wanted to make a sequel. He revealed that the title was returned to him three years ago. Shailendra said, “I have started the process of Singh Is Kinng 2. I will begin production in October 2025 so that I can release it in 2026.”

Talking about the reason behind making Singh is Kinng 2, the producer stated that sequels and remakes are currently in season. He mentioned that the final title of the movie could be Singh Is Kinng 2 or Singh Is Kinng Returns. Shailendra further disclosed that the protagonist would not be called Happy Singh like in the first part and a new character would be created.

Shailendra also discussed who he wanted to see as the leading man. He said that Ranveer Singh was his first choice, and he had already contacted his team. “His energy, cheekiness, and fun fit the character. Also, Ranveer has never played a sardar before,” said Shailendra.
