A film about Dr. Ramgopal Naik, an IPS officer known for his remarkable career in the Delhi Crime Branch, is currently in the works. The movie will showcase his pivotal role in capturing criminals, receiving a gallantry award for rescuing a kidnapped child, and his involvement in high-profile cases such as the CBSE Paper leak and extradition of Sanjeev Chawla, a cricket bookie who was a fugitive for two decades, to India from the United Kingdom.
Imran Zahid, acclaimed for his performances in notable plays such as “The Last Salute” based on Iraqi journalist Muntadhar Al-Zaidi’s book and several adaptations of Mahesh Bhatt’s films like “Arth,” “Daddy,” and “Hamari Adhuri Kahani,” and known for his role as Abhay Shukla, a Bihari IAS aspirant in film “Ab Dilli Dur Nahin,” is set to portray IPS Dr. Ram Gopal Naik.
Speaking about the responsibility of playing a real-life character. Imran says “Whenever you portray a living person in a performance, it becomes an authoritative portrayal of their experiences: their motivations, the challenges they confronted, and how they overcame their individual struggles”.
IPS Dr. Ram Gopal Naik shares his reaction on a film being made on his life. He stated, “I was pleasantly surprised, as I wouldn’t have expected this. It’s commendable that these filmmakers are presenting a realistic portrayal of the incident, and I believe it will resonate with audiences and deliver a powerful message. It’s important to remember that police officers are dedicated to serving and protecting their communities. While there may be isolated instances of misconduct, such actions should not define the entire force. Just as any organization can have bad apples, it’s unfair to paint the entire police force with a negative brush based on the actions of a few.”
Inspired by his life, the movie aims to highlight DCP Naik’s investigative prowess and dedication to law enforcement, showcasing his methods and his impactful work in various challenging cases, including busting drug cartels, solving murders, and handling bomb blasts. His journey from being an MBBS graduate to joining the police services in 2002 will be central focus.
