Singham Again: Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has confirmed the development of an all-women ‘Cop Universe’ as part of his highly successful franchise. Known for his action-packed police dramas, Shetty’s Cop Universe has been a significant hit, and the new female-centric venture promises to bring a fresh dynamic to the series. This announcement comes on the heels of his latest film, Singham Again, which continues the saga of his celebrated Cop Universe.
Success of Shetty’s Cop Universe
Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe has become a cornerstone of Bollywood’s action genre. The franchise includes popular films such as the Singham series, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi. Each of these movies has been celebrated for its high-octane action sequences, charismatic leads, and a shared universe that ties them together. The upcoming film, Singham Again, is set to be another massive release this Diwali, featuring an impressive ensemble cast including Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, and Tiger Shroff.
Introducing an All-Women Cop Universe
Rohit Shetty has now announced an exciting new chapter for his franchise “An all-women Cop Universe.” This bold new direction will focus on female characters, marking a significant shift from the previous films which featured male protagonists as the central police officers. Shetty’s decision reflects a broader trend in the film industry towards more diverse and inclusive storytelling.
In a recent interview with News18, Rohit Shetty shared his enthusiasm for this upcoming project. He revealed, “There are women-oriented films in the pipeline, and it will happen very soon.” This statement has sparked considerable excitement among fans and critics alike, who are eager to see how Shetty will innovate within this new framework.
Deepika Padukone as Lady Singham
The first glimpse into this all-women Cop Universe comes with the casting of Deepika Padukone as Lady Singham in Singham Again. This film will see Padukone stepping into the role of a no-nonsense police officer, a role traditionally played by male actors in the Cop Universe. Shetty’s choice of Padukone, one of Bollywood’s most prominent actresses, suggests a strong and compelling character that will be central to the new franchise.
Earlier this year, Shetty introduced Padukone’s character with a heartfelt message on social media: “MY HERO… REEL MEIN BHI AUR REAL MEIN BHI. LADY SINGHAM!!!” This announcement has generated considerable buzz, highlighting Shetty’s commitment to creating powerful female leads within his cinematic world.
Singham Again Wraps Up
Earlier this week, Rohit Shetty celebrated the completion of Singham Again with a series of behind-the-scenes photos and videos. This film marks the 13th collaboration between Shetty and actor Ajay Devgn, a partnership that began in the 1990s and has remained strong ever since. In his social media post, Shetty reflected on their enduring relationship, noting, “Today we complete 13 years of ‘Singham’ and look at the magic of destiny. Today we also wrap ‘Singham Again’ with Ajay sir. This is my 13th film with him as a director but the journey began back in the 90s when I was working under him. 33 years later we are still going strong.”
Ajay Devgn’s Role in the Franchise
Ajay Devgn has been a central figure in most of the films directed by Rohit Shetty, particularly within the Golmaal and Singham series. His presence in these movies has become synonymous with the franchise’s success. In Singham Again, Devgn continues his role as the iconic police officer, adding to the film’s high-profile appeal.
