# **Maria IPS**: Rohit Shetty and John Abraham's Explosive Biopic on Rakesh Maria Finally Gets Its Title! Imagine stepping into the high-stakes world of Mumbai's toughest cop, where every chase, interrogation, and terror attack unfolds with Rohit Shetty's signature adrenaline rush. That's the promise of **Maria IPS**, the gritty action biopic starring **John Abraham** as former Mumbai CP **Rakesh Maria**—and reports confirm the title is locked in![1][3][4][6] Rohit Shetty, master of cop dramas and commercial blockbusters, has teamed up with John Abraham for this ambitious project inspired by Maria's life and autobiography *Let Me Say It Now*. The film chronicles his journey from a young boy in Bandra to a fearless IPS officer tackling landmark cases like the 1993 Bombay blasts and the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.[2][7] Shot across 40 real Mumbai locations—including Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, Dongri, and Taj Mahal Palace Hotel—plus intense sequences at Ellora Studios, it's packed with unprecedented scale.[2][3][4] What makes **Maria IPS** stand out? Shetty reveals they've cast a staggering **580 actors** to recreate every constable, inspector, and officer from Maria's cases—no other film has gone this far.[7] John Abraham delivers a powerhouse performance in police uniform, with high-octane police station drama, interrogations, and a never-before-seen depiction of the 26/11 control room chaos involving 1,300 calls in four hours.[4][7] The team loves the "commercial vibe" of the title, blending biopic authenticity with Shetty's explosive style.[1][3][5] As shooting wraps soon, expect an official announcement on the title and release date within a month. Post this, Shetty dives into *Golmaal 5*—but **Maria IPS** promises a fresh take on commercial filmmaking that's got everyone buzzing.[1][3]
