We have often seen bollywood actors acing the character of a police officer in the film. Well, just like one, we’ve also seen Arjun Kapoor in the Police uniform. Everyone of us being aware about how proud and responsible one feels after getting the avatar of a police officer, know what it means to play a cop in the movie. There are times when the Police officers are shown with a negitive perspective in the film which is for the entertainment purpose but Acing even that role is a tough thing to do.
We recently had a conversation with Arjun Kapoor as he’s all set with his upcoming Thriller-drama ‘Kuttey’ which is directed by none other than Vishal Bhardwaj’s son, Aasman Bhardwaj.
Arjun said after he was asked how did you feel to potray this character and how difficult was it to be in a police’s shoe but with a negitive perspective, “Moral compass ka jaha tak question aata hai kyuki aap uniform mein ho toh you’re taught to be selfless. Uss character ki upbringing hogi dusro ki seva karna and dusro ki protection. Uss character ko selfish karna, uska moral compass todd dena ki vo kisi ka nahi hai. Uniform ke sath ek pressure aata hai, ek certain understanding aati hai ki aap civil servant ho, aap government job kar rahe ho toh aap dusro ki protection ke liye ho. Vo aadmi agar Lalchi ho jaye, vo aadmi agar selfish hojaye, vo agar moral compass todd de and ulti taraf se kaam kare ya operate kare toh vo apne-aap mein ek Kash-ma-kash hoti hai as an actor how do you bring that out. Because you as Arjun do not want to be like that par Gopal (his character in Kuttey) is working like that.”
The recent blockbuster Drishyam 2 also has a police officer that is shown to be someone who has digested alot of bribe. So it is normal in the industry to potray a police officer in the film negitive. But they have always made sure to keep it just for the entertainment purpose.
Let us see how well Arjun Kapoor has got into the skin of the character. However, the trailer has got praised on a pretty good level. Audience are anticipating the film to be released on the big screens which is on 13th of January, 2023.
