Rohit Shetty to introduce a female cop in his universe, on the scale of 'Sooryavanshi'

Basking in the sucess of his blockbuster 'Sooryavanshi', Rohit Shetty may be planning to expand his cop universe further, this time with a female cop.

During an interview with The Indian Express, Rohit Shetty was asked why his stories linger around alpha men saving the world? Rohit Shetty said, that without a female lead or cop, the universe won’t ever be complete.

He added that with a woman at the helm, his film will be at the level of 'Singham' or 'Sooryavanshi' and till the time he doesn't get that kind of a story, he can’t proceed just because there is a demand for a female cop in this universe. He says, whenever he makes this film, he would want to make it into a bigger scale film.

Meanwhile, the filmmaker has dismissed reports that he has signed actor Sidharth Malhotra to headline his web-series about cops, saying the project is still under development.

There was speculation that the "Shershaah" star was set to work on the Sushwanth Prakash-directorial, which would have Shetty as the showrunner. Shetty said, not Sidharth Malhotra, no actor has been finalised yet for the web-series.

'Sooryavanshi', the cop-drama headlined by Akshay Kumar, hit the theatres during the Diwali weekend, almost one-and-a-half years after its scheduled March 2020 release.
