Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran’s recent film Daayra has sparked conversation online since its release on September 18, with viewers drawing comparisons between its fictional police officers and real-life cops. While Prithviraj Sukumaran’s DCP Raman Kumar has already been compared to former Cyberabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar, social media users are now wondering if Kareena Kapoor Khan’s DCP Ajooni Kohli could also have a real-life reference.
Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Daayra Character Compared To VC Sajjanar
A few scenes from Daayra have gone viral, with social media users linking them to the 2019 Hyderabad police encounter and Sajjanar’s remark that “law has done its duty.” In December 2019, Hyderabad police shot dead four men accused in a rape-and-murder case. According to police, the accused had been taken to the crime scene as part of the investigation when they allegedly attempted to snatch weapons and escape.
The comparison gained further traction after Prithviraj revealed that he was aware of Sajjanar’s 2019 press conference and the famous line while mouthing the dialogue in the film. Several users have since shared edits combining scenes from the film with the old press footage, with some calling it a “real-to-reel” moment.

Is Kareena Kapoor’s Ajooni Inspired By Manzil Saini?
Now, attention has shifted to Kareena Kapoor Khan’s DCP Ajooni. Sources suggest that IPS officer Manzil Saini could be among the real-life references behind Kareena’s character. Saini has held several senior policing positions, including SSP Lucknow.
In Daayra, Ajooni is shown as a determined officer who focuses on investigation and due process while handling the case. This has led some viewers to draw parallels between the fictional character and Saini, although there has been no official confirmation that Ajooni is based on her.
What Is Daayra About?
Daayra stars Kareena Kapoor Khan as DCP Ajooni Kohli and Prithviraj Sukumaran as DCP Raman Kumar. The two officers find themselves on opposite sides of the same case, with the film exploring the clash between legal due process and demands for instant justice.
Produced by Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios, the film has continued to generate discussion online, particularly around the real-life parallels viewers believe they see in its police characters.
