The Cop Universe or Copverse is an Indian media franchise and shared universe created by Rohit Shetty.^[1] It consists of media that focuses on police officers. The franchise includes films, animated series, video games and television series. The universe was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters.

The first two films, Singham (2011) and Singham Returns (2014) focus on Bajirao Singham, a law-abiding DCP from Shivgarh who fights for justice. The third, Simmba (2018), focuses on Sangram "Simmba" Bhalerao, a corrupt Inspector from the same town as Bajirao, who takes advantage of his job.^[2] The fourth, Sooryavanshi (2021), stars Akshay Kumar as DCP Veer Sooryavanshi.

Development

Seeing the success of the Tamil-language film, Singam (2010), directed by Hari, the film rights for the Hindi and Kannada versions were sold by the makers. Reliance Big Pictures, which co-produced the original version, bought the Hindi remake rights and announced in November 2010 that the version would feature Rohit Shetty as director and Ajay Devgn in the lead. Prakash Raj was signed on to reprise his role as the antagonist from the original.^[3] In February 2011, Kajal Aggarwal was signed in as the female lead.^[4] The movie was named "Singham" (transl. Lion). The film received mixed critical response but the film was declared a 'super hit' at the box office, collecting ₹1,413 million (equivalent to ₹2.9 billionorUS$35 million in 2023).^[5]

After the commercial success of Singham, Shetty announced that plans were being made to direct a sequel to Singham.^[6] The movie was named Singham Returns . Devgn was reprising his role from Singham. However, Kareena Kapoor was cast as the female lead this time. The film received mixed reviews and just like its predecessor, Singham Returns was declared a 'super hit' at the box office collecting ₹2,165.6975 million (equivalent to ₹3.5 billionorUS$41 million in 2023).

Following Singham Returns' success, Shetty showed interest in remaking the Telugu film Temper (2015). He stated in an interview, "We have bought the rights of Temper but our film is not exactly a remake. We wanted to take four-five scenes from Temper but we thought it's better to buy the rights."^[7] The film was named "Simmba" and Ranveer Singh was cast as Simmba, along with Sara Ali Khan for the female lead. The film received positive reviews and was declared as a 'blockbuster, collecting ₹3,916.825 million (equivalent to ₹5.2 billionorUS$63 million in 2023).

In the post-credits scene, the filmmakers revealed the next movie in the cop universe, Sooryavanshi, which cast Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in lead roles. The shooting was wrapped in late 2019, and was heading towards a March 2020 release, however the film was postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic, before it finally released after a year, on 5 November 2021.^{[ citation needed ]}
