Thanedaar Returns is Sanjay Dutt’s third cop role in a year. After Ram Gopal Varma’s Department and the forthcoming <em>Zilla Ghaziabad</em> Dutt will again be shown as a cop. But producer Aggarwal is unperturbed, “If you’ve seen the original film <em>Saamy</em> you’d know this is a cop film unlike any other.” However Vinod Bachchan the producer of <em>Zilla Ghaziabad</em> doesn’t think so. In a panic mode on hearing about yet another cop film Bachchan apparently got in touch with Sanjay Dutt requesting that his film be completed at the earliest.
