Director Ram Gopal Varma has finally revealed the identity of the person on whom his upcoming film, Officer, is based — K.M. Prasanna, the Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime), Mumbai.
He had previously mentioned in interviews that the film was inspired by real incidents.

The director went on to add that the real-life cop and actor playing him on screen were similar in many ways. ‘K M Prasanna does bear an uncanny resemblance to @iamnagarjuna ..Comparing my personal interactions with both, I observed that they share a very similar demeanour and strength of mind, which I tried to capture in #Officer (sic).’
