Social media users are questioning whether the upcoming film ‘Daayra’ features Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kareena Kapoor Khan portraying real-life police officers VC Sajjanar and Manzil Saini.
The promotional buzz around the crime‑drama ‘Daayra’ has sparked a wave of speculation on Indian social platforms. Netizens, after seeing the film’s teaser and cast list, are debating whether lead actors Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kareena Kapoor Khan are set to portray actual police officers VC Sajjanar and Manzil Saini.
Online discussions point to the similarity between the fictional characters and the real‑life officers who gained media attention in recent years. Users have shared articles and archival footage of the officers, drawing parallels with the roles advertised for the movie.
Neither the film’s director nor the production house has confirmed the connection, stating only that the narrative is inspired by true events. The makers have emphasized that ‘Daayra’ is a fictionalized account, and details about the characters remain under wraps ahead of its scheduled release later this year.
Industry observers note that such speculation is common when high‑profile actors are linked to roles based on real incidents, and it often fuels audience interest ahead of a film’s launch.
