Rohit Shetty`s cop universe is favoured by the audience. It started with Singham in 2011 and now, the third part of the thriller is in the making. Headlined by Ajay Devgn, the film revolves around an honest police officer who takes up the responsibility of erasing crime in Maharashtra. While the franchise has been a blockbuster, Bombay High Court judge Gautam Patel feels films like Singham send out a `dangerous message`.

At an event organised by Indian Police Foundation to mark its annual day and Police Reforms Day, Justice Gautam Patel said, "In movies, police rail against judges who are shown as docile, timid, thickly spectacled and often very badly dressed. They accuse the courts of letting the guilty go. The hero cop delivers justice single-handedly."
