For the unversed, the upcoming flick is adapted from Anurag Pathak’s bestselling novel of the same name. It is inspired by the true story of Manoj Kumar Sharma, a village boy from an impoverished background who failed in his 12th standard exams. However, with his passion and determination, he became an IPS officer.
When the film was announced, Vikrant had said, “It’s the tragedy of our times that honesty and sincerity are a rarity. This film is a dedication to all the students who dream, and to all the honest officers who are the backbone of our country and constitution. Working with VVC is a dream come true and a huge challenge since he’s such a thorough director,” in a statement.
