Shilpa Shetty revealed on Instagram that she has joined the cast of 'Indian Police Force', an OTT show created by Rohit Shetty. Earlier Sidharth Malhotra's role in Rohit Shetty's debut series was announced with a teaser.

The actress wrote that she is super thrilled to join action king Rohit Shetty in his cop universe show Indian Police Force on Prime, now filming. She added that she is "ready to set the OTT platform on fire for the first time." A picture of her wearing a black uniform and holding a gun was released along with the note.

The show is slated to be released on Amazon Prime Video next year. Rohit Shetty's Cop Universe already has four movies - Sooryavanshi, Simmba, Singham, and Singham Returns. Another movie Singham III is set to be released in 2023. The eight-part series is the first OTT show for both Shilpa Shetty and Siddharth Malhotra.

Known for his action sequences, Rohit Shetty welcomes Shilpa by saying "welcome to the squad. Get ready for gun battles, hand-to-hand combats, high-speed chases, and yes! Flying cars."

Shilpa Shetty is the first female cop to play the lead in the Cop Universe. The Indian Police Force is said to be an ode to the selfless service, unconditional commitment, and fierce patriotism of police officers in the country, reported The Indian Express.
