However, he remained unaware of Sharma’s troubles.
Ananth Rupanagudi, an Indian Railway Accounts Service (IRAS) officer, offered his thoughts on Vikrant Massey’s latest successful film, 12th Fail. Rupanagudi took to X to express his thoughts, revealing that he personally knows IPS officer Manoj Sharma, on whom the film is based.
Rupanagudi stated in his tweets that he met Sharma at a birthday celebration while he was serving as “DCP, Zone-1, the most high-profile and prestigious police district of Mumbai.” Rupanagud had no notion about Sharma’s efforts before becoming an IPS officer.
In subsequent tweets, the IRAS officer discussed the picture. He commented, “The #12thFailMovie is reasonably well-made, with some ‘creative liberties’ that slightly exaggerate the UPSC test procedure and attempts. Yes, it takes a lot of effort, but most interview panel members aren’t rude or judgmental.”
He also stated that he understands that specific portions of the script must be followed. When asked about Sharma and his wife’s love story, the officer replied, “It is very well portrayed, and from what I have seen, Manoj is still the strongly besotted husband.”
Earlier, IFS officer Parveen Kaswan expressed his thoughts on the film. Kaswan shared a scene from 12th Fail in which Vikrant Massey’s character enters the UPSC building to appear for the interview round. He grows increasingly worried while in the waiting area. Kaswan said on this scene, “What a nostalgic sensation. And such an accurate representation of what happens in the UPSC building during an interview. “Been there three times like this!”
