UP Police releases Amit Sadh-starrer short film 'Vardi', honouring fallen heroes

Mumbai, October 21

Uttar Pradesh Police has produced and released a special short film titled 'Vardi' on its social media platforms, coinciding with the occasion of Police Commemoration Day 2026.

The film pays tribute to police personnel who made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty.

Produced under the guidance of Director General of Police, Uttar Pradesh, Rajeev Krishna, the film highlights the indomitable courage, devotion to duty and supreme sacrifice of late Inspector Sunil Kumar of the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF), who was awarded the Kirti Chakra.

It sensitively portrays the silence and sense of loss that remain in a martyr's family after the sacrifice of a loved one-the pride they feel in their loved one's service, alongside the pain of their absence, as per a statement.

On October 1, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath honoured the late Sunil Kumar's wife, Munesh Devi, by presenting her with a cash amount and an angavastram.

Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, the film features Amit Sadh, veteran TV actress Alka Amin and Nazish Khan.

The film's voice-over and script have been written by Constable Kapil Dinkar, posted at the UP Police Social Media Centre.

Its creative direction is by Rahul Srivastava, IPS, SP/ Public Relations Officer to the DGP, Uttar Pradesh.

The film was produced in collaboration with the Department of Information and Public Relations, Uttar Pradesh.

Shot in Mumbai, the short film was released on UP Police's social media platforms on Police Commemoration Day. It aims to take the stories of the courage, dedication and devotion to duty of fallen police personnel to the public and to inspire members of the police force in the service of the nation.
