Serving as a sequel to “Singam II” (2013) and the third installment in the Singam film series, the movie features Suriya, Anushka Shetty, Thakur Anoop Singh, and Shruti Haasan, with Hansika Motwani making a cameo appearance. Principal photography commenced in January 2016 in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, and the film saw a worldwide release on February 9, 2017.

Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, “Singam 3” achieved significant commercial success, grossing ₹110 crore worldwide. The narrative unfolds as a fierce debate emerges within an Andhra Pradesh state assembly regarding the long-standing murder case of Visakhapatnam city commissioner Ramakrishna. The Home Minister of Andhra Pradesh proposes bringing Singam from Tamil Nadu to Vizag as the new DCP, leading to a series of events where Singam, portrayed by Suriya, infiltrates the criminal underworld.

Singam adopts a guise of corruption to clandestinely investigate the murder of the commissioner. The film introduces a complex web of corruption, illegal dumping of mediwaste, and the involvement of powerful individuals. Singam faces threats, attacks, and personal challenges as he navigates this intricate plot. Meanwhile, Vidya, a journalist posing as a student, closely follows Singam, adding another layer of intrigue to the narrative.

As Singam delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a conspiracy involving toxic smoke attacks, illegal garbage dumping, and the exploitation of environmental issues for personal gain. The film weaves together elements of action, suspense, and social issues, with Singam fighting against powerful figures to bring justice.

Singam, undeterred, continues to eliminate and arrest criminals, facing personal and professional challenges. The story explores themes of corruption, environmental exploitation, and the resilience of a determined protagonist. Hari, known for his action-packed storytelling, crafts intense sequences that propel the narrative forward. The film’s “racy” nature, characteristic of Hari’s directorial style, keeps the audience engaged throughout.

Singam’s pursuit of justice takes him on a global journey, reflecting a departure from the local settings of the previous films in the series. The film also introduces new characters, including an antagonist portrayed by Thakur Anoop Singh, adding fresh dynamics to the storyline.
