Streaming service Disney+ Hotstar on
Friday announced Bad Cop, an action-drama series headlined by actor Gulshan
Devaiah and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. Described as a classic cop vs villain
story with a lot of twists and turns, the show is the first fictional series
from Fremantle India, known for producing reality shows such as “India's Got
Talent” and “Indian Idol”.
Written by Rensil D’Silva, ‘Bad Cop’ is
directed by Aditya Datt and stars Devaiah as Karan, a fierce cop, trying to
chase down Kazbe (Kashyap), a villain more powerful and deadly than him and
simultaneously managing his personal relationships. It also features Harleen
Sethi, Saurabh Sachdeva and Aishwarya Sushmita in pivotal roles.
“I have created a lot of characters that
are gore, quirky, dark and many more things but believe it or not it was
difficult for me to be one. Kazbe is someone who doesn’t think too much before
doing anything, he just does it. He is a dreadful, eccentric, nefarious and a
quintessential villain. I had to bite into the intricacies of this character
and make it my own. Being directed by Aditya Datt was a great experience and
collaborating with partners like Disney+ Hotstar and Fremantle India was
incredible,” Kashyap said in a statement.
Devaiah said the new show is an “out-and-out
entertainer” that gave him a chance to play a “massy-entertaining kind of cop”.
“The action was a bit tough, particularly the running, which challenged me
because I’m not used to doing action and I’m not physically built for it. Overall,
it was fun working with Fremantle India and Disney+ Hotstar. Moreover, it was
enjoyable to perform with Anurag, who had only directed and produced my films
earlier, but it was fun to do scenes and action with him.
“It was a great moment for me because I
never expected to be acting with him. I’m curious to see how people will enjoy
my version of a filmy cop. Hopefully, it’s fun for the viewers as well, so I’m
very eager to know their reactions,” he added.
