Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 28 : After wrapping up the shooting of 'Singham Again' in Kashmir, Rohit Shetty has shared his experience of filming the action-packed movie and shared how the abrogation of Article 370 has changed the place.
Taking to his Instagram handle, he posted a beautiful video which gives the glimpses of the Kashmir shoot schedule of 'Singham Again'. In the video, the ace filmmaker along with actor Ajay Devgn can be seen interacting with the people, police officials, meeting children and signing autographs.

Modi government abrogated Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir in August 2019, months after it came to office for the second successive term.
In the video shared by Rohit Shetty, there is a text which reads as, "We always had a paradise in our motherland called Kashmir but once there was terrorism, unrest, curfews, no social life. And then Article 370 got abolished. 5 years later we landed up filming Singham Again. And now the New Kashmir. Happiness. Young energy. Tourism. Peace. Love. Naye Bharat ka naya Kashmir."
In the caption, he wrote, "@narendramodi@hmoindia...Had the most amazing and emotional schedule. Thank you for the tremendous love Kashmir"
