IPS Officer points out a mistake in Akshay Kumar's BTS pic with Sooryavanshi cast

However, it is not as easy to be a police officer as depicted in the movies. Suggesting the same, an IPS officer pointed out a mistake to Akshay Kumar on Twitter. It was a picture of Kumer with the star cast of Sooryavanshi. Soon after Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray announced his decision to re-open cinema theatres from October 22, the Sooryavanshi director Rohit Shetty announced the Diwali release date for the film. Akshay Kumar also tweeted the news with a behind the scene picture of the movie, in which he, along with Ajay Devgn, Rohit Shetty & Ranveer Singh can be seen in the picture. But the picture didn’t suit the police premises, as pointed out by a serving police officer.

Special DGP RK Vig, an IPS officer of 1988 batch, commented on the picture tweeted by Akshay Kumar, and highlighted that Ranveer Singh playing the role of an inspector was sitting, while senior officers-- Akshay Kumar & Ajay Devgn were standing in the picture, and he objected that this is not how it happens in real life.
He wrote, “Inspector Saheb is sitting and SP Saheb is standing, it doesn't happen like this, janaab.”

Akshay Kumar responded to this tweet, and clarified, that this was a behind-the-scenes picture, however on shoot they followed the police decorum completely. He responded, “Well this is a Behind the Scenes photo. For us artists, as soon as the camera is turned on, it is back to protocol. Regards forever to our great police forces. Hope you like the film when you watch it.”
