1 Year Of Simmba: Singham, Simmba And Sooryavanshi Aka Ajay, Ranveer And Akshay Are the New Tridev

Rohit Shetty’s cop universe kick stared with Ajay Devgn and Kajal Aggarwal starrer Singham in 2011 followed by Singham Returns in 2014. Last year, he surprised one and all when Ranveer Singh as Sangram Bhalerao aka Simmba ruled the 70 mm. It was towards the end of Simmba, when Shetty had announced his next with Akshay Kumar, Sooryavanshi. The film, which is all set to hit the theaters on March 27, 2020, co-stars Katrina Kaif. As Simmba completed one year today, the makers took to social media to give us a glimpse of Shetty’s cop universe through a video.

The start of the video reads, “As we celebrate one year of Simmba”. Then it opens with the last scene of Simmba when Ajay Devgn tells Ranveer Singh, “It’s important to keep that fear of getting killed in rapists’ minds who would ever think of raping a girl.” The video then continues to give us a glimpse of Ajay Devgn’s scenes from Singham and Akshay Kumar from Sooryavanshi. The video further reads, “The story that began with Singham, turned into a universe of its own with Simmba, and the journey continues with Sooryavanshi .” (ALSO READ: Sooryavanshi: Neena Gupta Walks Out Of Akshay Kumar Starrer; Makers Feel Her Track Doesn’t Add To The Story)

Karan Johar shared the video on Twitter and captioned it, “It can't get bigger than this! Thrice the fun, thrice the action & thrice the entertainment assured in the #RohitShettyCopUniverse with Simmba, Singham and Sooryavanshi. Celebrating #1YearOfSimmba with these 3 SuperCops!”

Earlier, Rohit Shetty took to Instagram and penned a long note about his dream of making a cop universe. When they wrapped up the shoot of Sooryavanshi, Shetty had posted a picture with Akshay and had captioned it, “As Akshay Kumar gave his Last shot today for Our Cop Universe ‘Sooryavanshi’, It takes me back to 9 years ago in 2010 when Golmaal 3 became a massive hit. That day I had mentioned to Ajay Devgn that I was looking forward to making an action film on cops and eventually we made Singham. I never imagined that Singham’s journey would ultimately weave in such magnificent characters like the notorious Ranveer Singh as Simmba and now the Dynamic Akshay Kumar as Sooryavanshi, becoming the country’s First cinematic Cop Universe. And today 9 years later when I wrap my last shot with Akshay playing Sooryavanshi it magically coincides with the day we announce our next venture -Golmaal FIVE.”
