What's the story
After establishing his super successful cop universe on the big screen, filmmaker Rohit Shetty is all ready to take it to the realm of over-the-top (OTT).
And, he will be doing that through Indian Police Force, his Amazon Prime Video web series, featuring Sidharth Malhotra in the lead.
Following Tuesday's collaboration announcement, a teaser for the same was dropped on Wednesday.
Context
Why does this story matter?
As far as impacting police stories are concerned, there is hardly any other director more successful than Shetty (he has made four till now: Singham, Singham Returns, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi).
On the other hand, Malhotra became a breakout OTT star after the success of his last release, Shershaah.
Hence, their collaboration is highly exciting.
Notably, Shershaah was also a Prime Video release.
