Director Imtiyaz Bhat’s DGP Kashmir stars Daisy Shah as an IPS officer and draws inspiration from incidents that unfolded in Kashmir over the years. Bhat says the 2017 lynching of DSP Ayoub Pandith deeply affected him and motivated him to tell stories about police personnel and their sacrifices. The film also references events linked to the Hazratbal shrine and highlights the role of officers in protecting civilians. Bhat discusses casting Daisy Shah, an emotional scene that moved him during filming, and his transition from directing music albums to making his first feature film.
