In a remarkable blend of cinema and community service, the team behind the much-anticipated film ‘Singham Again’ has managed to set a new Guinness World Record with a unique and heartwarming initiative. Led by Bollywood stalwarts Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty, alongside food delivery giant Swiggy, the record-breaking endeavor involved delivering an astounding 11,000 vada pavs in a single delivery, capturing the spirit of generosity and bringing joy to countless children.
This extraordinary feat unfolded in collaboration with the Robin Hood Army, a nonprofit organization renowned for its mission to fight hunger through the redistribution of surplus food. The massive operation was aimed at reaching children across several locations in Mumbai, with vada pavs delivered to various Robin Hood Army-supported schools located in Bandra, Juhu, Andheri East, Malad, and Borivali.
The epicenter of this gastronomic operation was the Airport High School & Junior College in Vile Parle. It was here that Ajay Devgn, Rohit Shetty, and Swiggy Co-founder Phani Kishan received the monumental order, marking this feat in the annals of the Guinness World Records as the largest vada pav delivery on record. The smiles and excitement from the children and the team involved showcased the profound impact of this generous gesture.
Speaking on the occasion, filmmaker Rohit Shetty emphasized the joy that this initiative brought, stating, “We are thrilled to partner with Swiggy for this unprecedented delivery of vada pav, sharing happiness and nourishment with the children. This initiative resonates with the ethos of ‘Singham Again’, where the characters embody strength and righteousness for a greater good.” His words underlined not only the symbolic connection between the film’s narrative and the real-world act of kindness but also highlighted the broader social responsibility of such acts.
The ‘Singham Again’ saga continues to captivate audiences with its thrilling storyline, and the newly released trailer has only heightened anticipation.
