Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again releases this Diwali weekend
Rohit Shetty today is one of the biggest film directors of India. He is known for his exceptional skills in directing masala action, comedy, and family entertainers. He is the leading man who directed the Cop Universe and Golmaal film franchise. Although Rohit Shetty is the biggest nightmare of Indian film critics. The critics hate him and his style of filmmaking. His films often have unscientific, illogical, and nonsense action scenes. All of his films except Chennai Express have received mixed reviews. But he has received immense success through such films. He has delivered over ten consecutive major commercially successful films.
Rohit Shetty has written, produced and directed films such as Singham, Golmaal, Singham Returns, Golmaal 3, Golmaal 4, Simmba and Sooryavanshi. His upcoming film is Singham Again which is slated to release on 1st November 2024.
The Rohit Shetty Cop Universe is one of the biggest and most successful film franchises. It all began in 2011 when Rohit Shetty directed Ajay Devgn as Bajirao Singham in the 2011 action entertainer film Singham. Singham upon its release in 2011 received positive reviews and emerged as a blockbuster at the box office. Singham (Hindi) was a remake of a Tamil film of the same name. Singham in Tamil starred actor Suriya in the lead role.
Rohit Shetty initially had no plans of directing an action cop film. But after watching Wanted and Dabanng, Rohit Shetty decided to make a cop film with Ajay Devgn. The success and reception from the audience for Wanted and Dabangg inspired Rohit Shetty to go ahead with Singham.
Featuring Salman Khan in the lead, Wanted and Dabangg were released in 2009 and 2010 to overwhelming response. Both the films received highly positive reviews whereas Salman Khan’s performance was highly hailed by the audience, especially his character of Chulbul Pandey in Dabangg. Wanted followed by Dabangg helped Salman Khan to attain superstardom.
Rohit Shetty Cop Universe
Following the success of Singham (2011) and Singham Returns (2014), Rohit Shetty planned to introduce several new characters and shape his Cop movie franchise.
In 2018, Rohit Shetty introduced Ranveer Singh as the new Cop and new character of his Cop Universe. Ranveer Singh was featured in the movie Simmba which was an official remake of Jr NTR’s Telugu film Temper. Simmba received highly positive reviews and emerged as a blockbuster. In the post-credit scene of Simmba, director Rohit Shetty introduced another Bollywood superstar as the new Cop in his Cop Universe. We all saw actor Akshay Kumar making a short appearance as DCP Sooryavanshi in Simmba. Ajay Devgn too featured in a lengthy guest appearance as DCP Singham in Simmba.
