Mumbai Police has a separate fan base when it comes to quirky tweets and the latest series of posts on their official Twitter handle proves why. Ajay Devgn, who has played the role of a cop in several films like Gangaajal, Singham, Singham Returns and the forthcoming film Sooryavanshi, gave a shout out the Mumbai police in a tweet, which was followed by an equally cool response. Mumbai Police's tweet, replete with references to Ajay Devgn's films, read, "Dear Singham, Just doing what khakee is supposed to do to ensure that things return to how they were - Once upon a time in Mumbai! #TakingOnCorona.
Ajay's response to the tweet was, "Dear Mumbai Police, you are known as one of the best in the world. Your contribution to the COVID-19 pandemic is unparalleled. Singham will wear his khakee and stand beside you whenever you ask."
