In 2011, Devgn performed with Emraan Hashmi in Madhur Bhandarkar's comedy "Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji". He was a narrator in "Yamla Pagla Deewana" and also made a cameo appearance in "Ready". Devgn starred in Rohit Shetty's "Singham". Taran Adarsh said: "The title means 'Lion' and Ajay is in the centre of the battle between good and evil. Ajay is well known for the lines, "aataa maajhi satakli". The embodiment of screen masculinity, Ajay enacts the central character of a righteous, hardhearted cop with flourish. He brings alive on screen a larger-than-life hero character with determined conviction, which renders you thunderstruck. One of the few actors who underplays his part admirably, he returns to the over-the-top-action genre of films with this one. In a nutshell, his performance plays a pivotal role in carrying the film to the winning post." He then starred David Dhawan's action comedy film "Rascals".
