Confirming the news, Bhandarkar said in a note, “We are making Inspector Ghalib, but it is too early to say anything else about the film right now.”
Sources close to the film added that Inspector Ghalib is inspired from true events. "Based on the sand mafia in Uttar Pradesh, the film will be a quirky, witty drama. Madhur Bhandarkar has been doing research on the sand mafia in UP for 6-7 months now,” said the source.
