‘I play a cop in Maarrich, who is not very senior but is not new in his profession either. He is a seasoned cop who has his ideology about things and is street-smart. He has to solve a double murder mystery, which changes his life and outlook. It is a character with shades of grey. Hopefully, the film will release in theatres.’
