Former Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Iqbal Shaikh slams Shootout movies discrediting men in uniform; filmmaker Sanjay Gupta says cop seeking unnecessary media attention
When former Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Isaque Bagwan held a press conference earlier, to lash out at the makers of the just released film ‘Shootout at Wadala’, all I wanted to say is: I endorse that. With all these gangland novels, books and movies, there are a number of people who want to depict the underworld and gangsterism on celluloid and in books. I do not say no to that but when it is done just to make it box-office material, then it is time to sit up and take notice because it is done at the cost of a peaceful society and leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

Just a movie: A still from Shootout At Wadala
