Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again and Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 are going to clash on Diwali, that is, Friday, November 1. Right now, the makers of both films are fighting each other for shows and screens. But four weeks after this mega clash, Ajay Devgn and Anees Bazmee’s film Naam will be released in cinemas. The surprise announcement happened earlier today.

This marks Ajay and Anees’ third film after the romantic drama Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha (1998) and the suspense thriller Deewangee (2002). Naam, interestingly, was shot nearly 20 years ago, in 2004. There were talks of this film releasing in cinemas in 2013 but it didn’t materialize. It was initially titled Benaam and later changed to Naam. Priyanka Chopra was earlier signed for this role but due to some issues, she was replaced by Sameera Reddy. Himesh Reshammiya has composed the music of the film which also stars Bhumika Chawla.

Incidentally, its producer is Dinesh Patel who gave a break to Ajay Devgn in Phool Aur Kaante (1991). The producer later made the 1995 flick Saajan Ki Baahon Mein, starring Rishi Kapoor, Raveena Tandon and Tabu followed by Naam.

Interestingly, Naam releases on November 22, the same day as the release of Ajay Devgn’s debut film Phool Aur Kaante 33 years ago.

Naam is the second delayed film of Anees Bazmee to finally see the light of day. In 2020, when films used to release directly on OTT platforms, Bazmee’s It’s My Life premiered directly on television, on November 29, 2020. Produced by Boney Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor, it starred Harman Baweja and Genelia Deshmukh. Around its release, Anees Bazmee spoke to Bollywood Hungama and he confirmed that Naamwould also be released soon.

In 2019, Anees Bazmee tweeted an on-the-set image of Naam. It featured Anees and a bespectacled Ajay shooting for the film in a snowy region. The filmmaker stated in this post, “Yahin ummeed karta hoon ki ek din yeh movie release ho aur aap sabko dekhne mile.” Finally, after nearly two decades, his wish is finally going to come true.

This was taken in Switzerland, while shooting for an unreleased film ‘Naam’ with @ajaydevgn, #BhumikaChawla & @reddysameera. It was a suspense thriller jo aapko bohot pasand aati. Yahin ummeed karta hoon ki ek din yeh movie release ho aur aap sabko dekhne mile. #ThrowbackThursday pic.twitter.com/uJsYSBR3Dk

While fans of Ajay Devgn are excited to see him don the Bajirao Singham avatar for the third film from the franchise, Singham Returns, it seems that another action release of the superstar is scheduled for release in the same month. Amid reports of the duo reuniting for Deewangee part 2, it seems that the actor-filmmaker duo have announced another film scheduled to release this year itself. Ajay Devgn and the director Anees Bazmee are teaming up for an action entertainer titled Naam which is slated for release in November this year.

Interestingly, this also marks the second release of Anees Bazmee in the same month since his horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is scheduled for release on November 1 and is expected to clash with Singham in theatres. Meanwhile makers of Naam have dropped a new announcement of the action spectacle with a special poster with the official title and the release date which is scheduled for November 22. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his social media platform X to make this announcement and also shared the first look poster of the entertainer.

After a restaurant owner called him out for being rude to his servers, James Corden said, “I haven’t done anything wrong, on any level…I feel so Zen about the whole thing. Because I think it’s so silly. I just think it’s beneath all of us.”

Earlier in the week, Salman Khan shot for a cameo as Chulbul Pandey in the Rohit Shetty directed Singham Again. The superstar will join Ajay Devgn’s Bajirao Singham in the post-credit scene of this cop entertainer. And now, our highly placed sources, on the sets of Singham Again during the shoot of this cameo have shared insane insights on what one can expect.

According to the insider, the Chulbul Pandey cameo will go down in history as one of the best cameos by Salman Khan. “It’s a proper 2-minute sequence to introduce Dabangg Khan – Salman – into the world of Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe. He gets the right elevation with a mass presentation, and the aura on the screen will evoke seeti-maar response from the cinema-going audience. Rohit Shetty presents his heroes like superheroes and Salman is a superhero himself, so the presentation is beyond what anyone is thinking,” a source told Bollywood Hungama.

The source further added that the cameo placement is a lot like Akshay Kumar in Sooryavanshi and Hrithik Roshan in Tiger 3. “It’s a post-credit sequence, but worth every penny of the ticket. Await the masses to welcome Chulbul Pandey with open arms. The sequence will set the base for future timelines of Shetty’s ambitious cop universe. The milan of Chulbul Pandey and Singham is finally happening,” the source told us further.

Singham Again is all set to hit the big screens on November 1, 2024.
