I appreciate the way he functions."
Recalling how they both met and thought of the series, he shared, “About two years ago, when I met Rohit, he said 'I am making something for cop universe'. I said, 'Great!' But, he said it is on OTT and I was like 'Oh!' But then he showed his vision and when I heard the story and everything came through, it speaks for itself. The trailer speaks for itself. It is nothing short of Hindi cinema entertainment that he brings to you but on this platform.”
At the same event, as per ANI, Vivek also shared, "I have known him (Rohit) for many years. Playing Vikram Bakshi was an amazing experience I have a lot of respect for cops. I believe Rohit Shetty has made significant contributions to the cinematic image of a decent cop, a brave heroic sacrificial police officer, because when we were growing up, we mostly saw evil cops on--screen. He transformed that image, and the Indian Police Force is an extension of that."
