‘Universes have scope’

Ajay Devgn believes Indian audience, especially the ones who are familiar with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will lap up director Rohit Shetty’s cop universe in no time. The actor fronts the Singham series that gave birth to the filmmaker’s potential multi-film universe, which was followed by Ranveer Singh’s Simmba; the latest addition to it is Sooryavanshi, to be led by Akshay Kumar. 

Devgn said Bollywood has a lesson to learn from the box-office performance of the studio’s most recent Avengers: Endgame.  “Universes have a massive scope in Bollywood. Singham is a strong franchise and then Simmba has become another important series, and now if Sooryavanshi goes to become something like that, which I’m sure it will, it’s the same thing as Avengers. The film got such a big opening worldwide. Either you are an Iron Man fan or any other Avengers, now that all of them came together for a film, one will definitely go.”
