Mumbai: The much anticipated trailer of Singham Returns was launched on Friday however, makers planned to cancel the event due to the demise of the legendary actress Zohra Sehgal.
Saddened over her death, actor Ajay Devgn said they were planning to cancel the trailer launch event of his upcoming film 'Singham Returns'.

A Padma Vibhushan awardee, Sehgal was seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam', which had Ajay Devgn in the lead. Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, who was present at the same event, also expressed grief over the demise of Sehgal.
"I am a great fan of Zohraji. She was a great artiste, a legend. My sister Karishma and Ranbir (cousin) had the opportunity to work with her, I missed out on that. May her soul rest in peace," Kareena said. Director Rohit Shetty said that one should remember Sehgal for the great life she lived.
Directed by Rohit Shetty, Singham Returns is scheduled to release at Independence Day this year.
