In the last scene of Simmba, director Rohit Shetty gave us a sneak peek of his next cop offering — Sooryavanshi featuring Akshay Kumar in the lead. While the film is slated to go on floors mid-year, it has been heard that the cop drama will be a remake of the Tamil hit, Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru (2017), which featured Karthi and Rakul Preet Singh.

A source close to the production reveals, "Rohit is in the process of buying the rights of the film at the moment. Even if they procure the remake rights, his team usually absorbs the plot points and writes its own narrative — they had done something similar in the case of Simmba, which was inspired by Temper (2015).
