Indian film ‘Singham Again’, which premiered on November 1 during Diwali, brings attention not only to its star-studded cast but also to its picturesque filming locations, some of which are in Sri Lanka.
Starring Ajay Devgn and featuring notable actors such as Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, and Salman Khan, the film integrates scenes filmed in both India and Sri Lanka, underscoring the region’s cultural significance.
One of the standout locations in Sri Lanka featured in ‘Singham Again’ is the Seetha Amman Temple located in Nuwara Eliya, which is closely associated with the Ramayana, making it a key historical site. This temple is revered for its ties to the epic tale, believed to be where Sita was held captive by King Ravana. Its depiction in the film enhances the narrative’s parallels with themes of devotion and heroism.
Other prominent Sri Lankan sites showcased in the film include the colonial-era Galle Fort and the city of Colombo, where significant sequences were shot at landmarks such as the Colombo Lotus Tower, Hotel Shangri-La, and the Galle Face Green. The inclusion of these locations highlights Sri Lanka’s blend of heritage, architectural splendour, and natural beauty.
Singam Again’s use of these locations not only enriches its storytelling but also invites viewers to explore the region’s ties to ancient myths and its modern-day allure. The portrayal of these sites may boost tourism interest, drawing attention to Sri Lanka’s diverse landscape that bridges historical reverence and contemporary charm. (Newswire)
