In this archival interview, actor Sushant Singh speaks in detail about the making of the film “Sehar” (2005) and how it marked a shift in Bollywood’s portrayal of crime cinema. He explains that while most earlier mafia and political films were rooted in Mumbai and Maharashtra, Sehar explored the intense underworld–police conflict of Uttar Pradesh. The story draws inspiration from the life of Shiv Prakash Shukla, once a notorious don of UP, and the formation of the Special Task Force (STF) by the UP Police. Sushant clarifies that the film is not a biography; instead, it presents a fictionalized character, Gajraj Singh, using cinematic language rather than strict realism. He also praises Arshad Warsi for convincingly portraying an IPS officer despite being widely known for comedy roles. Spea
