Singham Screening for Goa Cops

Rohit Shetty's "Singham", is drawing accolades not just from the masses, but also from cops all over India.

Recently, the Director General of Police in Goa had a screening for 900 cops all over the state and all of them enjoyed the film.

Rohit got a call from his producer from Goa who told him the DGP Aditya Arya in Goa wanted to show the film to the the Goa police. After the show, Rohit got a call from the Goa DGP who wanted to personally thank him for making such a film on them and added that at last someone had made a good film on the police force showing them in the right light.

For Rohit it was quite a big honour. He's shot five films before "Singham", but never has a film of his got such reactions, love and respect.

About the call that Rohit received from the DGP, he says, ""Singham" has got me a lot love and respect!" Mr Arya told Rohit, 'I want to thank you on behalf of the entire police force. You have actually shown cops as heroes and thus helped in motivating the police a lot.'

Earlier also the director has had quite a few emotional moments when airport cops have come to him and said 'Hamne "Singham" dekha and thank you for making such a film.' Rohit says he hadn't expected this kind of a positive reaction from the police and the audience when he made the film.

On asking him about his favourite scene from the blockbuster film, says the director, "The scene of Ashok Saraf - when he breaks down is close to my heart as it's taken from a real life scenario. Our hawaldars do more than 18 hours of duty and yet get less than what a corporate office peon does."
