'Singham Again' is roaring high at the box office, and with almost all the leads having their standalone films, the hype surrounding Lady Singham, Deepika Padukone, having her own film in the cop drama is high. Now it looks like Shetty has heard the demand of every DP fan and has confirmed that she will get her own film in the cop universe. In a recent conversation, the director provided an update on the film, stating that there is still time for the Shakti Shetty film to come.

Rohit Shetty confirms standalone cop film for Deepika Padukone

In conversation with News18, Rohit Shetty shared that they have a concept in mind, but it will take time for a female-led cop film headlined by Lady Singham to happen. While discussing the film, he 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 emphasized that character and her name in 'Singham Again'."

To note, Shakti Shetty isn't Rohit's first female cop. Before this, he had introduced Shilpa Shetty as Tara in 'Indian Police Force'. When asked if the two cops could appear in the same film, Rohit explained, "It is not on the cards. These are two different worlds. 'Indian Police Force' is a different IP altogether - it belongs to Amazon. This cop universe, on the other hand, belongs to us. So, technically, these two cannot come together," he pointed out.
