Character insights
Devaiah on why he chose this role
Devaiah expressed excitement about the series, stating, "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 had to do a lot of action scenes, which I'd admit wasn't easy at all."
Preparation
How Kashyap prepared for this unique role
Kashyap drew inspiration for his villainous character from Nana Patekar in Parinda and Irrfan Khan in Haasil.
"Kazbe is powerful, hard-hitting and I drew traits from many of the negative characters that I had created, to prepare for this role," he said.
"I was scared and skeptical when shooting for gory scenes; as opposed to my films. This show has brought to light a very different side of me."
