According to sources, Rohit sustained an injury while shooting a car chase sequence and the production team immediately brought him to the hospital.

Apart from Sidharth and Shilpa, Vivek Oberoi will also be seen in the series slated to release this year.

With Indian Police Force, the filmmaker has extended his cop universe consisting of Singham aka Ajay Devgn, Simmba aka Ranveer Singh, and Sooryavanshi aka Akshay Kumar to the digital world. And it will be interesting to see if the three male leads also make an appearance in the OTT show.
