Filmmaker
Rohit
Shetty
on
Tuesday
said
he
has
definite
plans
to
make
a
female
cop
film
to
complete
his
"Singham" universe,
which
chronicles
stories
of
police
personnel.
Shetty's
follow-up
to
his
hit
"Singham"
was
2018's
Ranveer
Singh-starrer
"Simmba",
which
was
part
of
a
multi-film
universe
that
the
director
has
in
mind.
The
next
film
in
this
universe
is
Akshay
Kumar-fronted
"Sooryavanshi".
Asked
if
he
plans
to
make
a
female
cop
film,
Shetty
told
reporters,
"Soon
we
will
be
making
it.
We
have
a
story
in
mind.
We
will
definitely
do
it.
We
need
to
take
a
year
or
so,
but
we
plan
to
do
that
to
complete
the
universe."
The
director
was
speaking
at
a
special
session
at
the
FICCI
Frames
2019.
Shetty,
who
has
delivered
consecutive
blockbusters
and
is
known
for
making
larger-than-life
massy
films,
said
he
got
the
idea
to
start
a
universe
while
watching
Hollywood
superhero
projects
like
"Avengers".
"Whatever
happens
in
Hollywood,
happens
here
10
years
down
the
line.
That's
always
been
the
theory.
When
I
was
watching
the
'Avengers'
series,
I
got
an
idea
that
'why
don't
we
create
a
universe?'
"Obviously,
we
don't
have
the
kind
of
budget
to
make
so
many
superhero
films
year
after
year.
Then
I
thought
to
make
a
cop
universe
from
'Simmba'
onwards," he
said.
The
filmmaker
said
as
the
concept
of
creating
a
universe
was
novel
for
the
Indian
audience,
he
was
initially
nervous
about
the
plunge.
"I
was
a
bit
scared
before
the
release
because
this
was
happening
for
the
first
time
in
our
country.
I
knew
that
youngsters
and
kids
will
(understand),
because
they
have
'Avengers',
but
our
mature
audience
hasn't
seen
that.
I
had
doubts
merging
two
worlds
but
it
worked
big
time," Shetty
said.
