Bet on Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone!
There is a lot of talk about two big universes in Hindi cinema right now. First is YRF’s Spy Universe and second is Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe. Films from both these universes earn huge profits. Every actor in the industry is now dreaming to be a part of this universe. However, so far very few actors have got this opportunity. At the same time, the YRF spy universe and the cop universe are also witnessing stiff competition. But the one thing that these two have in common is Rohit Shetty and YRF’s heroines. You heard right, Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif are part of this universe. But why are the makers betting so much on these two actresses? Finally what is the reason behind their confidence, let us know.
YRF Spy Universe
In the year 2023, when YRF made ‘Pathan’ for Shahrukh Khan’s comeback, the film did a huge business at the box office and did a business of Rs 1000 crores. With the film becoming a blockbuster, the makers planned to create a spy universe by combining YRF’s ‘Tiger’ franchise and ‘Pathan’. All three parts of the ‘Tiger’ franchise have also proved to be hits at the box office. Where YRF has paired Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in ‘Pathan’. Katrina Kaif has been seen in the lead role with Salman Khan in all three parts of ‘Tiger’. That means both Deepika and Katrina’s names are included in the YRF spy universe.
Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe
Rohit Shetty started the cop drama years ago by making ‘Singham’ with Ajay Devgan. This was followed by ‘Singham Returns’, followed by Rohit Shetty’s another cop drama ‘Simmba’ with Ranveer Singh. While making these films, Rohit Shetty also put his mind to it and created a cop universe. After making the ‘Singham’ franchise and ‘Simmba’, he entered his cop universe with Akshay Kumar’s ‘Sooryavanshi’. Now on the occasion of Diwali 2024 Cop Universe’s next film ‘Singham Again’ is coming. Katrina Kaif had earlier joined Rohit Shetty’s cop universe film ‘Sooryavanshi’. Deepika Padukone is also going to be a part of this universe through ‘Singham Again’.

What is the reason for the faith of the producers?
It is worth pondering the reason why both Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif are a part of the larger universe. In fact, the first big reason behind it is the co-actors of both the heroines. In fact, the pairing of Deepika Padukone with Shah Rukh Khan is considered a blockbuster in India. While Katrina Kaif’s association with Salman Khan becomes a guaranteed hit for the makers. In such a situation, when YRF Spy Universe made ‘Tiger’ and ‘Pathan’, it cast Deepika alongside Shahrukh and Katrina alongside Salman. Now the movies were going to be hits.
The reason why Rohit Shetty made Deepika-Katrina a part of his cop universe could be because he was bringing Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif to the screen after 10 years with ‘Sooryavanshi’. While Deepika Padukone has already given 3 films worth Rs 1000-1000 crore before becoming a part of ‘Singham Again’. Apart from this, Ranveer Singh also has a cameo in ‘Singham Again’. Now it is possible that Rohit may also shoot some scenes of Ranveer and Deepika in the film, which could prove to be a big surprise for the fans. ‘Singham Again’ is still time for release, but the film is already being touted as a blockbuster.
