To be directed and produced by Shetty, the upcoming project stars actor Sidharth Malhotra in the role of a Delhi police cop.
According to the makers, Indian Police Force is a fiction series that pays an ode to the selfless service, unconditional commitment, and fierce patriotism of police officers across the country who put everything on the line in their call of duty to keep everyone safe.

Shetty, known for creating the cinematic cop universe with films such as Singham (2010), Simmba (2018), and Sooryavanshi (2022), said he has been working on Indian Police Force for many years.
“I'm delighted to be collaborating with Amazon Prime Video to breathe life into this story which will transcend geographies and linguistic barriers, providing me an opportunity to showcase the same to audiences worldwide,” the 49-year-old filmmaker said in a statement.
The eight-part series marks the digital debut of Shetty, also known for directing popular comedy film series like the Golmaal franchise.
