Filmmaker Rohit Shetty recently said it was challenging to figure out a new angle in his cop universe with his latest "Sooryavanshi". "Sooryavanshi" is the third film in Rohit's cop universe after Ajay Devgn's "Singham" and Ranveer Singh-starrer "Simmba". Both, Ajay and Ranveer will be seen in extended cameos in the film.

Asked if it was a challenge to juggle three characters, Rohit told reporters, "It was challenging to figure out what new to present to the audience. Not the character or the actor. They have seen 'Singham', 'Simmba', so what new, big we can do with 'Sooryavanshi' because everyone will come with expectations."
