After the release of Singham Again, filmmaker Rohit Shetty has confirmed his upcoming cop film with Deepika Padukone. The actress was seen playing the role of Lady Singham in Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again, which also starred Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Arjun Kapoor and Jackie Shroff.

In a recent interview with News18, Rohit Shetty said, “The wait was to get the right script and the right kind of launch for the character. Till 2018, I wasn’t even sure if there’s going to be a cop universe. When Simmba worked, people accepted that we can bring in other characters and create a universe. That’s when we made Sooryavanshi (starring Akshay Kumar) and it was during this film that we thought of making a film with an out-and-out lady cop”.

Rohit confirmed that he will soon roll the solo cop project with Deepika Padukone and said, “We still have to write it. We do have a concept in mind but we don’t know where we can go with it. There’s still time for that. I know what the character will be like and her basic story arc but I don’t know her whole journey yet as a director or writer. But a female-led cop film headlined by Lady Singham will definitely happen, otherwise we wouldn’t have introduced her at all. There’s a reason why we’ve emphasised on that character and her name in Singham Again."
