Actor Palle Singh who was last seen as Mirza, a jail warden in the biopic Swatantra Veer Savarkar, is set to play a Bihari character in Disney Hotstar’s Bad Cop starring alongside Anurag Kashyap, Gulshan Devaiah.

Previously, known for his work in Laal Rang, CAT, Tera Kya Hoga Lovely and Inspector Avinash, Palle gets candid about his working experience with Anurag Kashyap and challenges of playing a bihari character for the first time.

Sharing about how he landed the role, he says, “It wasn’t an easy journey at all. Initially, I underwent a test and was rejected by the director. The casting director informed me that the role wasn’t working out, and they had been searching for the right fit for a long time. Then, unexpectedly, I received another call from Kunal M Shah, who informed me that the director wanted to meet me. Surprised but hopeful, I asked for details, and he explained that while discussing the character, they stumbled upon a couple of my pictures that resembled the character they were seeking. When I met Adi Sir, everything fell into place in a matter of seconds. He greeted me and immediately declared, “You are my Bala Thakur.” It was an exhilarating moment, and I’m thrilled to be part of the show.”

Talking about what attracted him towards the role, he mentioned, “When the series was offered to me by the casting director, Kunal M Shah, I was immediately drawn towards it due to the challenge it presented. Until then, my roles had often been categorized based on my Haryanvi background and body type. However, this opportunity required me to portray a Bihari character, something I had never done before, which intrigued me greatly. Additionally, the director, Aditya Dutt, impressed me with his vision, and I was extremely excited about collaborating with him. The stellar cast, including Gulshan, Anurag Sir, and Saurabh Sachdeva, further heightened my enthusiasm, as I looked forward to sharing screen space with such talented individuals.”

Describing his working experience with Anurag Kashyap, Gulshan Devaiah and others, he adds, “
Beyond being one of the finest directors in Indian cinema, working with Anurag Kashyap proved to be a genuine pleasure as a co-actor. Sharing most of my scenes with him and Gulshan fostered an incredibly enjoyable camaraderie on set. Acting thrives on genuine reactions, and the chemistry we developed, particularly evident on screen,was truly fantastic. The conversations between Anurag and myself were insightful and enriching, and I consider myself fortunate to have shared the screen with the immensely talented Gulshan. This entire experience has been an unforgettable treasure, one I deeply cherish.”

Giving insights about the show, he added, “”Bad Cop” is a classic masala potboiler revolving around twin brothers Karan and Arjun, brilliantly directed by Aditya. It’s very well-written with numerous twists, turns, ups, and downs, along with a plethora of interesting characters. While I can’t reveal the entire plot, trust me, everyone is going to love it. This excitement is evident in the trailer and visuals of the show.“

Directed by Aditya Datt and written by Rensil D’Silva, “Bad Cop” is set to release on the 21st of June.
