Meanwhile, on the work front, Rohit’s last film Cirkus starring Ranveer Singh in the lead did not fare well at the box office. However, the director did not let the setback bow him down and started work on his debut OTT project Indian Police Force with renewed vigour. The series stars Sidharth Malhotra, Vivek Oberoi and Shilpa Shetty. He has also started the pre-production of Singham Again, the third part in the Singham franchise headlined by Ajay Devgn.
