12th Fail: Manoj Kumar Sharma reveals SRK, Salman perform for free at Mumbai Police event, says, 'Nobody has that...'

IPS Manoj Kumar Sharma has been grabbing the headlines for all good reasons as Vidhu Vinod Chopra-Vikrant Massey’s film 12th Fail based on his life has won millions of hearts across the globe. While many celebs praised the biographical drama, in a recent interview Sharma revealed that all the celebs attend and perform at Umang’s Mumbai Police’s annual event without charging a penny. Sharma once had Mumbai’s suburbs, Bandra and Andheri, under his jurisdiction. So, he worked closely with celebs while organising the event. “The additional SP of that area has the responsibility to conduct this event for the police, called Umang. It happens every year for the Mumbai police. It is a big programme for the welfare of Mumbai police. After going there, I got to know that all the actors came for the programme free of cost. They don’t charge a penny for it. They come only because Mumbai Police invite them,” said Manoj to Lallantop.

He added, “Be it anyone, Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Ranveer Singh or Shah Rukh Khan, everyone comes for it. That programme continues for about five hours, including the performances.” Talking about the hard work of celebs, Sharma said, “I have realised that the kind of effort these guys are putting in, we may only see what they have shot, but the kind of hard work that goes into it is amazing. Gazab ki mehnat karte hain. Nobody has that sort of strength. It is not that easy. I recently got to know that for one shoot, they have to be at one place for 5-10 days.” Talking about _12th Fail_ , the film also featured Medha Shankr, Anant V Joshi, Sanjay Bishnoi, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Anshumaan Pushkar among others in prominent roles.
