Sidharth Malhotra To Police Officers: "We Are The Reel Heroes, You Are The Real Heroes"

"As an actor, I feel honoured that I got an opportunity to wear the uniform on the screen," said Sidharth Malhotra

Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who is set to play a police officer in the Prime Video series Indian Police Force, says he is honoured to wear the khaki uniform on screen. The actor was speaking in Delhi at the event 'Indian Police Ko Salaam', billed as an ode to the service, commitment and patriotism of Delhi Police officers. Growing up in Delhi, Sidharth Malhotra on Wednesday said he would often want to interact with the police officers on duty. "As a citizen, you always want your officers and government to protect you. After I reached a certain position, I think the police service is one of the toughest jobs in the country.

"They take care of the public and deal with them with so much patience. As an actor, I feel honoured that I got an opportunity to wear the uniform on the screen. We are the reel heroes, you (police officers) are the real heroes," said the actor, who previously played Kargil war hero Captain Vikram Batra in Shershaah.

On the stage, Malhotra was joined by Indian Police Force director Rohit Shetty, his co-stars Shilpa Shetty and Vivek Oberoi as well as Aparna Purohit, Head of India & South East Asia Originals, Prime Video, and Sushant Sriram, Country Director, Prime Video, India.
