‘Police Company’ to Release in Two Parts?
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Police Company was originally envisioned by production banner T-Series as a web series due to its expansive timeline and extensive lineup of characters. However, Varma insisted on mounting the project as a two-part feature film franchise, advocating for a cinematic, large-scale theatrical experience. The decision mirrors recent industry release strategies, such as the two-part rollout model seen with Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
