'It's not working,' Deepika Padukone criticized for her acting in 'Singham Again' trailer

• Deepika Padukone has been enjoying massive success.
• Her upcoming film is expected to be another hit.
• She will soon be seen in Singham again, opposite Ajay Devgn.

Deepika Padukone has been enjoying massive success with recent films like Pathaan, Jawan, and Kalki 2898 AD. Her upcoming film, Singham Again, directed by Rohit Shetty, is expected to be another hit, but the internet wasn’t thrilled with her appearance in the trailer that dropped on Monday.

Deepika, playing a cop named Shakti Shetty, is seen in a khaki uniform, wearing sunglasses, and speaking in a Marathi accent. She introduces herself as “Lady Singham” in the film.

An X user shared a clip of Deepika from the trailer, writing, "naah (crying emojis) what is wrong with her." Another commented, "Never thought after seeing Arjun Kapoor and Tiger (Shroff) in the cast, someone could act worse than him. But congratulations Deepika."

One user compared her current role to her debut in Om Shanti Om, noting, “It’s been 17 years! And she hasn’t improved a bit.” The tweet added, "The greatest trick Deepika Padukone has ever pulled was convincing a bunch of teenagers that she is a good actress."

Meanwhile, a Reddit user blamed Rohit Shetty’s direction, writing, “Shetty has somehow managed to make even THAT smile annoying (crying emoji)." Another criticized her accent: "It's the forced ‘Tapori’ accent. Heyy bhagwan (Oh God). It's not working."

Singham Again also stars Ranveer Singh, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, and others, and is set to release on Diwali, November 1.
