Rohit Shetty Confirms Cop Film with Deepika Padukone as Lady Singham
Rohit Shetty has confirmed that a solo cop film starring Deepika Padukone as Lady Singham is officially in the works. Fans speculated about her role since the success of Simmba in 2019, but the character of Lady Singham only appeared in Singham Again.
Shetty explained the delay in bringing the character forward, stating that he needed the right script and launch. “Till 2018, I wasn’t even sure if there’s going to be a cop universe,” he said. After the success of Simmba, Shetty decided to expand the universe with Sooryavanshi and then develop the idea of a female-led cop film.
The pandemic postponed the introduction of Lady Singham, but Shetty has now confirmed the project. “We still have to write it,” he revealed. While the concept is ready, he hasn’t fully developed the character’s story arc yet. He assured fans that a film with Deepika Padukone headlining as Lady Singham will happen, as Singham Again emphasized the character.
Regarding rumors about Indian Police Force being part of the cop universe, Shetty clarified that Amazon holds the rights to the show, while his team owns the rights to the Singham films and characters.
Fans now eagerly await more updates on this new chapter in Rohit Shetty’s cop universe.
