Kiara Advani to Lead Rohit Shetty’s Female Cop Universe Spin-Off
Bollywood’s action maestro Rohit Shetty is all set to shake up his iconic Cop Universe — and this time, he’s bringing in a major twist. After giving audiences blockbuster male-centric action films like Singham, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi, Shetty is now planning to introduce a brand-new spin-off, but with a female cop leading the charge. The buzz in the industry is that none other than Kiara Advani will be taking the lead in this exciting new chapter of the Cop Universe, making her the first female officer to headline a film in this action-packed franchise.
The news has travelled swiftly through both the industry circuits and fan circles. Rohit Shetty has always had her high-octane action, flying cars, memorable dialogue, and a male hero archetype. But now, a shift to a female-led action story indicates that the most commercial directors are accepting change. The decision to elevate Kiara Advani is not a random one. Kiara Ana has successively built up a core fan base over the last few years and has demonstrated her versatility across genres. The spectrum of features – romance, drama, thrillers, and light comedies is part of Kiara’s repertoire, but in this instance, it will be her first software action role, and it is a far stretch from her Oscar-winning performance.
Kiara’s expected character is unattached, with an invincible, fierce, and joking IPS officer, someone who not only employs her physical strength but also, intelligence to quell the crime state. The storyline will take place in an entirely new city by entirely different villains, with an initial mission that is completely disregarded. While earlier films in the Cop Universe focused on terrorism, corruption, and national security, this new spin-off is likely to explore issues from a woman’s point of view — including women’s safety, cybercrime, and political manipulation. Though the script is still being finalized, the concept itself is already making waves as a bold and timely move.
Insiders say that Kiara has already begun basic preparations for her role, including fitness training and stunt rehearsals. She is said to be completely invested in this project and understands that this is a career-defining moment. If all goes according to plan, shooting is likely to start early next year, and the film could hit theatres by 2026. For Rohit Shetty, this marks not just another film, but a leap forward in storytelling. After years of being labeled as a “male action director,” Shetty now seems eager to explore fresh narratives and expand the scope of his universe in meaningful ways.
This spin-off could also be a major moment for Bollywood at large. For decades, female characters in action films were mostly relegated to being love interests, sidekicks, or emotional supports. Rarely did they get a chance to lead the action themselves. But with Kiara at the center of a franchise known for its testosterone-fueled sequences, it sends a strong message: that women, too, can headline big-budget action films, and do it with style and power.
There’s also strong speculation that this film will not be a standalone, but rather the beginning of a larger narrative arc for the female cop character. Much like how Simmba and Sooryavanshi had cameos in each other’s films, it is possible that Kiara’s cop might also be seen teaming up with or crossing paths with Singham or Simmba in future films. Imagine the thrill of watching Kiara’s character going head-to-head with Ranveer Singh’s Simmba or being part of a mega cop team in the next big multi-hero showdown. The possibilities are endless, and that’s exactly what makes this move so exciting.
For Kiara Advani, this project could turn out to be a game-changer. Though she has delivered multiple hits and is among the top actresses today, this will be her first time carrying a high-octane action film on her shoulders. It will not only test her acting mettle but also her physical strength and ability to match the pace of a Rohit Shetty blockbuster. If she pulls it off, she won’t just be a star — she’ll be a force to reckon with in action cinema.
While the official announcement is still awaited, fans are already counting down. The moment Kiara appears in a police uniform on the big screen, delivering punchlines and taking down criminals, it’s bound to send the theatres into a frenzy. One thing is clear — Rohit Shetty is ready to take his Cop Universe in a bold new direction, and with Kiara Advani leading the way, this spin-off might just become the surprise blockbuster that shakes up the entire industry.
