Talking about the series, director Aditya Datt said, “Bad Cop is like your original cult masala stories with a captivating storyline, a deadly villain and your hero in a double role. We have designed the action and chase sequences from scratch and have hoped to provide the audiences a larger than life viewing experience. With actors like Anurag, Gulshan, Harleen and Saurabh, we wanted to bring a sense of realism to the story. Audiences are in for a treat and I hope they enjoy this one.”
Talking about the series and his character, Anurag said, “Kazbe mama is a one of a kind villain. His aura is charismatic and lethal at the same time. I was scared and skeptical when shooting for gore scenes; as opposed to my films. Kazbe is powerful, hard-hitting and I drew traits from many of the negative characters that I had created, to prepare for this role. I had no process for Kazbe, in fact I was inspired by Nana Patekar from ‘Parinda’ and Irrfan Khan from ‘Haasil’. I take the script only before I shoot it and the dialogue writer would help me how to approach it. It’s cathartic for me to play a negative character and I take it all out of my system.I hope audiences enjoy me in this avatar.”
Gulshan Devaiah chimed in, “‘Bad Cop’ is a thrilling story that doesn’t pretend to be anything else but entertaining. What drew me the most to the script was the character/s I had to play. Karan and Arjun are identical twins with very different personalities and moreover one is a cop and the other a crook.. I think playing the twins in ‘Bad Cop’ has been the most amazing time I’ve had in my career until now and I really hope the masses find it fun too.”
The thrilling twin drama will drop on Disney+ Hotstar from June 21 onwards.
