‘Indian Police Force’ is set to premiere on 19 January 2024 on Prime Video in India.
Living up to what he does best, filmmaker Rohit Shetty is all set to make his OTT debut with the series ‘Indian Police Force’. Created by Rohit Shetty and directed by Rohit Shetty and Sushwanth Prakash, the seven-episode action-packed showcases the selfless service, commitment and fierce patriotism of the Indian police officers across the country, and how they put everything on their line in their call of duty to keep people safe.
Sidharth Malhotra, Vivek Oberoi and Shlipa Shetty play the key roles in the series, and during one of the interviews, Shilpa, who is the first female cop of the director’s famous cop universe, mentioned how Rohit is actually a “bigger diva” than her. She even called him a “tyrant” on sets.
In a chat with Instant Bollywood, when Shilpa was questioned about the one thing she loved and tolerated about Rohit, she answered with a laugh, “this is panga (problem.)” Revealing what she loved about Rohit, Shilpa said, “One thing I love about Rohit Shetty is that he presents his actors so amazingly, with so much swag. I love that about him.”
She then answered, “What I hate about Rohit Shetty? He’s a diva, I call him a diva.” When asked why she says so, Shilpa added, “Between him and me, he is a bigger diva than me,” further saying, “And he is a tyrant on sets but it’s a good thing also, self-preservation.”
Meanwhile, at the trailer launch of the series, Shilpa had also revealed how she instantly said yes to the project. “When they came to narrate the part to me, the minute they said the character is called Tara Shetty, I was like ok. It was a checklist. I always wanted to work with Rohit, not because of the Shetty connection but because of the grasp he has on this milieu. For me, to be able to play a cop in his cop universe is nothing but a compliment. We were supposed to work a long long time back, but I am happy that it started off with this part,” she stated.
‘Indian Police Force’ stars Shweta Tiwari, Nikitin Dheer, Rituraj Singh, Mukesh Rishi, Lalit Parimoo in pivotal roles. The series is set to premiere on 19 January 2024 on Prime Video in India.
