RGV Announces ‘Police Company’, Talks About Real-Life Inspiration

Director Ram Gopal Varma has officially announced his next feature film, Police Company. The project will be produced by T-Series. The filmmaker shared details about the story and theme on X.

While revealing the title, Varma explained the main concept behind the film. He wrote, "My NEXT film's NAME being produced by T SERIES is .. POLICE COMPANY. With the tagline "It Is More Dangerous Than D Company ". The police is an institution, and an underworld company is a money-making organisation.. But when an institution is given extra powers, it will soon become a company"

The director reflected on the history of the Mumbai underworld. He recalled the rise of Dawood Ibrahim and D Company. Varma noted, "After DAWOOD IBRAHIM brutally finished most of his rival gangs, he grew his GANG into a COMPANY and then left for DUBAI, leaving his protegee CHOTA RAJAN to head the operations of D COMPANY."

A rift between the two leaders led to major chaos. Varma detailed, "Subsequently, a chain of events led to a split between Dawood and Rajan, which in turn caused a vacuum in the Mumbai underworld. Taking advantage of the situation, many other gangs jumped in to stake their claim for the top spot, creating a massive outburst of criminal activities. The system was completely failing to halt the gang activities, which in turn was attracting a lot of young men from places like U P, M P, Bihar, etc to join the underworld companies. In a panicky situation, a special squad was created which, between 1997 and 2004, killed more than 300 gangsters."

The upcoming film focuses on this police squad. Varma confirmed, "POLICE COMPANY is the story inspired by that SQUAD based on one of its team members DAYA NAYAK which is being played by HARSH VARDHAN RANE.The film has a huge ensemble cast, the details of which will be revealed soon."

Actor Harshvardhan Rane will play the lead role inspired by Daya Nayak. Further updates on the ensemble cast are expected soon.
