Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has revealed his upcoming project, titled "Police Company," a T-Series production. The film is inspired by a specialized Mumbai police unit established to combat a surge in gang violence during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Varma highlighted the volatile era, noting how the underworld transformed into powerful companies following the power vacuum created by the Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Rajan split.
This period saw numerous gangs vying for control, leading to widespread criminal activity and overwhelming law enforcement. In response, a special squad was formed, credited with eliminating over 300 gangsters between 1997 and 2004. "Police Company" will focus on this squad, with actor Harshvardhan Rane slated to play the role of Daya Nayak, a notable officer from this unit.
