The cop universe of director Rohit Shetty has impressed everyone, especially the police force of the country. The first film of this franchise, Singham (2011), became a favourite of the men in Khaki and its sequel Singham Returns (2014), gave a nice ode to the Mumbai Police. Since then, the police have always had huge respect for this series and also for director Rohit Shetty.
