The 2018 super hit movie Simmba has worked big time not just because of its performance, concept and of course for the smashing cameo of Ajay Devgn as Singham, but also because the makers introduced a new cop this time- Sooryavanshi that is played by Akshay Kumar. It is giving rise to Rohit Shetty’s cop universe too. The flick Sooryavanshi is ready to unveil next month and all eyes are keeping on the movie whether it will be a repeat of Simmba. Now the cast is not announced yet.
Director Rohit Shetty, however, has set the record straight. In a conversation with the media recently, he made everything clear that he would not be introducing a new character in the last scene of Sooryavanshi. He also adds that the next film of the cop universe will be Singham 3. He also added that the reason he won’t be introducing any new character is that, he will be then facing the pressure of making a film on it immediately. Rohit Shetty also gives an update on Farah Khan’s next directorial that he’s producing. He clarified that their venture is totally different from the 1982 film Satte Pe Satta, as reported by media. However, the film will take some time to roll as Farah is still writing it.
If we come back to Rohit’s cop universe, it all began with the first part of Singham, which was released in 2011. It had been loved for its treatment and Ajay Devgn’s massy avatar. At the box office, it was a huge hit. The next part, Singham Returns, released in 2014 and also was a success. This was followed by the Ranveer Singh- Simmba. It was an even bigger hit and it made it clear that Rohit intends to carve out a franchise out of these super cop characters.
It is interesting to know that Singham 3 will not be the only film on which Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty are collaborating next. They will also be seen in the fifth part of Golmaal, titled Golmaal Five. The project was announced in November 2019.
