Badaun (Uttar Pradesh):  A circle officer posted in Badaun district, Aniruddha Singh, is making his acting debut in the upcoming film “Bhuj-The Pride of India”, which stars Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt in lead roles.
The 41-year-old police officer will play the role of Sanjay Dutt’s younger brother in the war drama, slated for release in August.
According to director Abhishek Dudhaiya, Singh’s personality on screen captures his ‘dedication’ to policing in real life.
