'Happy film-makers are rediscovering me'

'Whatever you see of me on celluloid will be with the idea of wanting to push the envelope.'

I had it all laid out for me. A lot of prep done for me in terms of how I needed to play this character.

Obviously, I added my own nuances and colour to my character, Tara.

Did you bond well with your director and co-stars?

I think it was rather easy because working on a film is different from a Web series.

Shilpa Shetty plays the first female cop in Rohit Shetty’s copverse, and she’s loving every moment of it.

The 48-year-old actor has done a lot of prep to play Gujarat ATS Chief Tara Shetty in the Web series, Indian Police Force.

“It was great fun to be associated with Rohit Shetty. He has a different style and so you will see a different presentation of Shilpa Shetty, yet again.”

What was your prep like for Rohit Shetty’s Indian Police Force?

Everything happened so fast with Indian Police Force!

I was actually leaving for an outdoor shoot for Sukhi, but I had to make sure that in between my Chandigarh schedule, I had to come back.

I had to prepare my mind to do diverse characters. That was the hardest part, actually.

But I think my training from the ‘90s came to great use.

I am a director’s actor and Rohit is a fantastic director.

When it comes to this milieu, getting into his cop as the first female cop, You know what you have to do in every episode and you deliver accordingly.
