Two years after the release of his controversial film, Indu Sarkar, National Award-winning filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar is making a comeback with an upcoming film titled Inspector Ghalib. Unlike his previous women-centric films like Fashion and Heroine, Inspector Ghalib will feature a top male actor as the main lead and boast a larger-than-life treatment with quirky characters. 

The story is based in Uttar Pradesh and explores the underworld of the sand mafia operating in the state. The script is allegedly inspired by real-life events. Madhur Bhandarkar is presently finalising the cast, crew and locations for the film.

Inspector Ghalib is expected to go on floors in May this year. A majority of the film will be shot in UP.
