New Delhi (06.03.2023): In the case of Civil services aspirants, Delhi remains elusive for most of them but the success of Govind Jaiswal (IAS: 2007: AGMUT) has inspired filmmaker Kamal Chandra to make a movie on his life. The director is making a film titled Ab Dilli Dur Nahin, the biopic is based on the life of an IAS officer who is indeed an example of hard work and dedication.
Actually, bureaucrats are expected to perform their duty in an anonymous manner because the sudden limelight has proved to be counterproductive. The case of Amit Lodha (IPS: 1998: BH) whose book the Bihar Diaries’ Netflix avatar 'Khakee: The Bihar Chapter,' has become a rage. But the controversy surrounding this caused him dear. The same is the case with Abhishek Singh (IAS: 2011: UP) who dabbled into modeling and appeared in a video album neglecting his duty and met the same fate. So there is a risk involved when you try to travel the extra mile neglecting or compromising the primary job. So similar is the case with Govind who reached a place from a very humble background. One needs to tread cautiously.
Govind’s father paddled a rickshaw across Varanasi to support his son to realize the dream of the family. His wife is an IPS officer. The film stars Imran Zahid and Shruti Sodhi in the lead roles in the film based on his life. Written by Dinesh Gautam and jointly produced by Vinay Bhardwaj and Syed Z, the film will be released on May 12, 2023, in theatres.
