The film's title comes with a tagline "Cops were never this scary". RGV has said that Alfred Hitchcock was the inspiration behind the tagline.
Alfred Hitchcock used to say he gets scared of cops even though he’s never done any crime ..The tag line of @iamnagarjuna ‘s #Officer is inspired from that line of his
