Deepika Padukone took to Instagram to unveil her avatar for the Singham franchise

Filmmaker Rohit Shetty created his cop universe in the Hindi film industry with films like 'Singham', 'Simmba' and 'Sooryavanshi'. The films were headlined by Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, and Akshay Kumar respectively and portrayed them as daredevil cops. Now, in a first, Rohit Shetty is all set to introduce a female cop in his cop universe with the entry of Deepika Padukone. 

Yes, you heard it right. Deepika Padukone will become a part of the cop universe with Shetty's 'Singham 3'. The 'Singham' series headlined by Ajay Devgn will now see Deepika in a cop avatar as well. The much-anticipated sequel has finally reached the production stage. Director-producer Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn, and Ranveer Singh kickstarted the film's shoot in Mumbai. The cop-thriller went on floors with a pooja. 

Sharing pictures from the pooja, Rohit wrote, "Singham, Singham returns, Simmba, Sooryavanshi...12 Years ago, when we made Singham, we never thought that it would turn into a Cop Universe! Today, we begin filming Singham Again... the 5th film in our cop franchisee. ISME HUM APNI JAAN LAGA DENGE! BAS AAPKE PYAAR AUR DUA KI ZAROORAT HAI! (We'll give it our best, please shower love and blessings on us)."

Now, finally, Deepika Padukone took to Instagram to unveil her female cop's avatar. Named Shakti Shetty, Deepika is seen in a police uniform, with a gun placed near a man's mouth, while she is surrounded by a sea of bodies with burning buildings behind her. Her smile is a mischievous one. In the second picture, she holds the gun closer to her face with the same enticing grin!
