Team Jai Gangaajal also visited the Pune Police Control Room and met the female cops, whose hard work and vigilance is helping keep the city safe.
"In the police control room, I met all the women who are running it. Pune is country's only city, which is entirely covered with CCTV cameras and I met the operators there who keep an eye on the city 24/7," revealed Jha.
The female cops too applauded the trailer of the Priyanka Chopra starrer, which revolves around a female IPS officer, who is brought in a well-oiled system of the powerful, as she is thought to be weak, pliable and easy to manipulate however, things become difficult for them, when she comes into a confrontational mode. The brave cops also posed for selfies with the filmmaker.
