Rohit Shetty's Copverse has made Cops Heroes'

‘Indian Police Force encapsulates the same spirit, the essence of scale, the essence of action and that riveted rhythm that Rohit Shetty brings about, but is complete with absolute realism.’

Vivek Oberoi is super excited to be seen next in Rohit Shetty’s cop drama, Indian Police Force.

“We’ve always had that admiration for our men in uniform and the armed forces but of the police force, we’ve always had a lesser opinion in our country. This has changed; Rohit Shetty’s Copverse has singlehandedly evolved that,” Vivek tells.

How and when did Rohit Shetty offer you Indian Police Force?

We’ve met multiple times, mostly over social and charitable causes, because we align on that.

He’s always been there for me whenever I’ve done anything through my organisation for police families, people in uniform, free cancers, screenings, testing, sometimes treatments for the children of the police, more of the foot soldiers than the officers.

Rohitbhai has always been a phone call away every time I’ve asked him to come in and support these campaigns.

We’ve always said, let’s work together, let’s do something together.

And then it finally happened?

He always said to me that when there is a role which I think would be of your calibre, I’ll call you. And he did, true to his word.

I’ve loved Vikram Bakshi.

It’s been a wonderful experience finally being on set and working with Rohit.

You were one of the most sought after actors after Company and Saathiya. What do you think went wrong? Are you poised for a comeback with Indian Police Force?

I believe that while there will be a lot of analysis or data if you evaluate anybody’s career, good choices, bad choices, you get so much evaluation there.
