Rohit Shetty’s cop universe
In the interview, Rohit admitted that initially there was no plan to create a cop universe. He reflected that when he made Singham in 2011, he didn't expect that the film will become such a huge brand. The idea of connecting all the cop films, originated while he was scripting Simmba which starred Ranveer Singh in the lead. The film’s ending led to introducing Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi and expand the cop universe.
