However, the role of Deepika Padukone's cop (Lady Singham) remains shrouded in mystery. Deepika Padukone portrays Shakti Shetty, a police officer from Tamil Nadu, in the much-anticipated film Singham Again. Her role is highlighted in her entry scene in the film's trailer, where the word "Police" is prominently displayed in Tamil on her vehicle. From Ramayana-perspective, fans speculate she might be symbolising Vibhishan, Trijita or Surpanakha from the epic tale.
Deepika Padukone Is Surpanakha in 'Singham Again'?
Who Is Surpanakha in 'Ramayana'?
Some fans feel she's representing Surpanakha in the actioner. FYI, Surpnakha is Ravan's sister from Ramayana. She plays a crucial role in the epic, as her longing for revenge after Lakshman's severe punishment sets off a dramatic series of events that shape the story's trajectory, showcasing her as a pivotal figure in the narrative. If you ask us, Padukone can't be Surpnakha in Singham Again, considering she's always shown on Devgn's (Lord Ram) side in the trailer.
Deepika Padukone As Trijita in 'Singham Again'?
Is Deepika's character Trijita from Ramayana?
Who Is Trijita in 'Ramayana'?
In the epic Ramayana, Trijata, a compassionate demoness from the Raakshas lineage, served Sita in Raavan's enchanted garden, Ashok Vatika. Despite her demonic origins, Trijata possessed a kind heart and often offered solace to the captive Sita. Her comforting presence provided a much-needed respite from the hardships Sita endured. The Singham Again trailer hints at a possible connection between this mythological tale and the film's narrative. Scenes featuring Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor Khan together might allude to their characters' roles as Sita and Trijata, respectively. ‘Singham Again’ Trailer Review: From Daya’s Possibly Tragic Fate to Tiger Shroff’s ‘Mutism’, 11 Things We Learnt From Rohit Shetty’s ‘Ramayan Reloaded’ Featuring Ajay Devgn and Co!

Deepika Padukone to Play Vibhishan in 'Singham Again'?
Another theory is that Deepika might also be Vibhishan from the Ramayana in Singham Again. Vibhishan, the righteous Rakshasa, abandoned his brother Ravana and joined Lord Ram's side.
In the Ramayana, Vibhishan is renowned for his wisdom, loyalty and unwavering commitment to justice. His decision to turn against his own brother demonstrates his moral courage and unwavering belief in what is right. Following Rama's victory over Ravan, Vibhishan is crowned king of Lanka. So, is Deepika's Lady Singham modern-day Vibhishan?
