Marathi movie ‘Mindgame’ has been getting critical acclaim since its release. Directed by Rajesh Touchrivee, the movie is a investigative thriller and said to be inspired from a shockingly true incident of hate and revenge. It was released on 6 October, 2023.

The performance of veteran actor Atul Kulkarni, who played an police officer in the movie, is being hailed by everyone. His character is really gritty and well written. But, Odisha cadre senior IPS officer Arun Bothra posted an interesting post about this character, saying that it bores striking resemblance to him. He shared this on X.

The 1996 batch officer wrote on X, “After watching the movie Mind Game, many friends have shared that Atul Kulkarni has beautifully copied my mannerism. While watching the movie, same thing surprised me. How could he read me so well in one meeting, that too just before the shoot. What a brilliant actor!”

Mr Bothra also shared the film’s teaser on X.
