Rohit
Shetty
recently
announced
that
he
will
be
returning
with
Singham
3
in
his
last
release
Sooryavanshi.
Talking
about
the
original
cop
franchise,
the
filmmaker
revealed
that
Kareena
Kapoor
had
called
him
when
he
was
making
Singham
Returns
and
told
him
that
she
will
star
in
the
film.
Recalling
the
interaction
with
Kareena,
he
also
revealed
why
she
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
the
film,
he
said,
"Kareena
and
I
go
a
long
way
back
as
we
did
Golmaal
2
together
and
then
when
we
were
making
Singham
2,
she
called
me
to
ask
'What
are
you
doing
next?'
So
I
told
her
that
'I
am
doing
Singham
Returns',
so
she
asked
me,
'Who
is
the
girl,
I
am
doing
the
film'."
"I
told
her
that
the
role
is
not
that
big
but
she
said,
'It's
not
about
that,
I
just
want
to
spend
time
with
the
team
and
be
in
the
film',
so
Singham
Returns
happened
that
way," Rohit
told
Peeping
Moon.
Singham
Returns
had
released
in
2014,
marking
the
second
instalment
of
his
cop
universe.
The
film
was
inspired
by
the
Malayalam
film
Ekalavyan
(1993)
starring
Ajay
Devgn
as
the
lead
in
the
Hindi
adaptation.
While
Devgn
plats
DCP
Bajirao
Singham
in
the
franchise,
Kareena
Kapoor
played
the
female
lead
in
2nd
film
replacing
Kajal
Aggarwal
from
the
first
part.
Rohit
has
also
confirmed
that
he
is
working
on
adding
a
female
cop
to
his
universe.
He
said,
"With
Sooryavanshi,
I
feel
though
the
timing
was
limited,
the
strongest
girl
character
of
the
cop
universe
is
Katrina's
character
in
Sooryavanshi
and
gradually
it
will
start
growing
and
getting
bigger
and
yes,
there
will
be
a
lady
cop
for
sure
in
the
coming
times."
He
added
that
due
to
a
backlog
of
two
years
in
the
pandemic.
the
new
addition
to
the
franchise
will
take
some
time.
He
said,
"In
the
near
future,
there
will
be
a
lady
cop
more
than
just
being
a
wife
or
a
girlfriend
of
a
cop."
