A decade ago, film made him a hero
"This is Vanzara's baton. If you promptly speak up, you'll be spared. If you fail to open your mouth, you've had it."
This is no DIG of police, D G Vanzara, threatening a gangster or a terrorist to start singing like a canary. It is his younger brother K G Vanzara, an officer in the social welfare department, playing a no-nonsense cop in Gujarati film Rasiya Vaalam (Colourful Lover).
Incidentally, he plays the role of 'Inspector D G Vanzara' in the film which hit the cinema halls almost a decade ago. Long before DG became a phenomenon in Gujarat, his brother, who bears a remarkable similarity to him, had immortalised him on celluloid as a tough cop.
In the movie, KG not only borrowed his brother's name but also his looks and mannerisms.
If DG, now behind bars for the fake encounter of Sohrabuddin, swore by desh bhakti, K G swore by Satyamev Jayte in the film. KG was a personal assistant to former minister Upendra Trivedi (considered Dilip Kumar of Gujarati film industry), who reportedly introduced him to film producers.
