Daisy Shah is gearing up for a new challenge on screen as she steps into the shoes of an IPS officer in the upcoming film DGP Kashmir. The teaser of the film was recently launched in the presence of the cast.

While Daisy has portrayed a cop in the past, she says this role comes with a different set of responsibilities.

She says, “I had played a cop before, but here I get to play the role of an IPS officer. What makes it even more special is that the film is inspired by several true incidents that happened in Kashmir. As a child, I dreamt of becoming an IPS officer.”

Directed by Imtiyaz Bhat, DGP Kashmir is based on the struggles and sacrifices made by security forces and police officers in the Valley. Drawing from his own experiences of growing up in Kashmir, Bhat aims to shine a light on the bravery of officers who risked their lives to protect civilians during difficult times.

For Daisy, the film is also an opportunity to pay tribute to those often-overlooked heroes. “The film is about those unsung heroes of Kashmir. Their stories deserve to be told. Audiences will also get to see a different side of me through this film, especially when it comes to action,” she says.

The actress who will begin shooting her portions in July, is already preparing for the physically demanding role.

“I haven’t started shooting for my part yet, but I have about a month to prep for it. Since I am a national level shooter, that experience will definitely help me play the role better and bring authenticity to the character,” she adds.
