Manoj will be standing at a busy traffic signal in Lokhandwala and manning the traffic at the key junction on Wednesday. “I want to salute the spirit of these unsung heroes, my efforts can’t meet their efforts, but it’s a small attempt to make their effort count,” Manoj said in a statement.

The actor worked hard to get into the skin of the character. He paid special attention to understanding how traffic cops communicate and closely observed their body language as well.
