RGV’s Police Company to be two-part film, shooting begins

Ram Gopal Varma's Police Company, starring Harshvardhan Rane as encounter specialist Daya Nayak, will be released as a two-part theatrical franchise. Bollywood Hungama reports that shooting began today, with both parts to be shot back-to-back. The makers plan to release the instalments a few months apart in 2027, a strategy recently used for Dhurandhar: The Revenge.

Sources told Bollywood Hungama that T-Series initially planned Police Company as a web series, but Varma insisted on a two-part film. The period crime thriller is set in the late 1990s and early 2000s, focusing on the Mumbai Police Detection Unit, known as the 'Encounter Squad'. The squad is credited with targeting syndicates linked to Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Rajan.

The ensemble cast includes Fardeen Khan, Saurabh Shukla, Paresh Rawal and Makarand Deshpande. Times Now reports the first part is targeting a mid-2027 release, with the second part to follow a few months later. The film is expected to wrap by the end of this year.
