Deepika Padukone, who made her first appearance as Lady Singham in the recently released ‘Singham Again’, will be leading a solo spin-off in the universe, as soon as the makers will get the right script.
Speaking about his blockbuster cop universe, filmmaker Rohit Shetty said in a new interview, “Till 2018, I wasn’t even sure if there’s going to be a cop universe.”
“When Simmba worked, people accepted that we could bring in other characters and create a universe. That’s when we made Sooryavanshi (with Akshay Kumar) and it was during this film that we thought of making a film with an out-and-out lady cop,” he disclosed. “The wait was to get the right script and the right kind of launch for the character.”

When asked for more details of the spin-off, Shetty furthered, “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,” he asserted. “Otherwise we wouldn’t have introduced her at all. There’s a reason why we’ve emphasised that character and her name in Singham Again.”
