Megastar Amitabh Bachchan unveils the third editon of Mumbai Police calendar 2018 at the glittering star-studded event Umang along with the Commissioner of Police Mumbai, Dattatray Padsalgikar.
The actor, who has played the role of a cop many times on screen from Zanjeer to Khakee, has each time inspired a whole generation to serve the country.
Amitabh unveiled the Mumbai Police calendar for the third time at Umang in presence of the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai Mr Dattatray Padsalgikar and other senior officials of the police force.
Apart from his screen avatars, Mr Bachchan has also shared a close rapport with the police force, often talking about the sacrifices the men in uniform make while serving the city. Interestingly it is these very stirring tales that Pravin Talan’s calendar showcases. Congratulating the photographer, the actor also felicitated him on behalf of Mumbai Police by presenting him a memento at the event.
Talking at the event the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai Mr. Dattatray Padsalgikar said, “For Mumbai Police, 2017 has been 365 days of celebrating an undying bond with the citizens and rediscovering its power in helping us overcome any crisis.” He also thanked each and every Mumbaikar for the constant faith, support and encouragement.
The Mumbai Police calendar has come to be regarded as one of the finest visual statements on Mumbai city and its police force. From crowd management in massive rallies like Maratha Kranti Morcha to management of religious festivals like Ganpati and Eid, it not only showcases the multi cultural and religious flavor of the city but the humongous task of maintaining law and order at such times.
The calendar also gives a peek into the state- of- the- art Police control room and recently introduced Riot Control Police.
Internationally acclaimed fashion & lifestyle photographer Pravin Talan has made it a mission to photograph men and women in uniform and in past four years photographed almost every Indian Defence and Central Armed Police Force that includes Army, Navy, Coast Guard, NSG, BSF, CISF and CRPF.
