Dibakar Banerjee is presenting Arjun Kapoor in an all new avatar in Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar.

Arjun sports a buzz cut typical of police recruits and looks every bit the heart-land policeman in this photo. In the film, he plays a 30-year-old police constable from Haryana.

According to YRF, Arjun has spent extensive amounts of time prepping for this role under the supervision of his Director Dibakar Banerjee.

He interacted with police recruits across all ranks in both the Delhi Police and Haryana Police and also visited a training academy to witness all that goes into the making of a heartland cop.

“Playing a cop is traditionally considered cool in Hindi films. But in a Dibakar Banerjee film, a cop is presented as realistic and yet, unique as a person,” said Arjun.

Produced by Yash Raj Films, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar co-stars Parineeti Chopra. The film is set to release on August 3, 2018.
