After the success of Ranveer Singh starrer ‘Simmba’, filmmaker Rohit Shetty takes the cop franchise to the next level. Shetty is currently prepping for the Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Sooryavanshi’. The film also stars Katrina Kaif as the main lead. Rohit Shetty, who is collaborating for the first time with Katrina Kaif, speaks up about roping in the actress and how the franchise is the apt film for their first-ever collaboration.

While speaking about his franchise, the filmmaker told PTI that, “After making ‘Singham’ franchise, we thought of expanding the cop universe and that’s how ‘Simmba’ happened. For the first time, we had merged two worlds – ‘Simmba’ and ‘Singham’ and had also added a new element with ‘Sooryavanshi’. It was a big risk but it worked.” 

Katrina Kaif has done quite a few number of films with Khiladi kumar – ‘Namastey London’, ‘De Dana Dan’ and several others. But this is for the first time that she has teamed up with Rohit Shetty. Speaking about bringing the actress on-board for the film, Rohit Shetty said, “Katrina has a very good role in the film. We both have been trying to work with each together on a film but this seemed like an apt film for both of us.”
