If Hollywood has its superhero world of Marvel Cinematic universe, closer home, Rohit Shetty has built his own cop universe with the Singham franchise, Simmba (2018) and the recent Sooryavanshi. The filmmaker is happy to have created three heroes—Ajay Devgn’s Bajirao Singham, Akshay Kumar’s Veer Sooryavanshi and Ranveer Singh’s Sangram Simmba Bhalerao—each distinct from one another. “For me, the most important part of a cop universe should be that the characters should not be the same. Tomorrow if another cop comes on board, he has to be completely different from Simmba, Sooryavanshi and Singham. Each of the three films have a distinct take on cop heroes. When people come to the theatres, they should not feel ‘Arre, yeh toh Singham jaisa hai,’” says Shetty.
