Bad Cop teaser: Anurag Kashyap, Gulshan Devaiah feature in a twisted thriller

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is turning a bad guy for not one but two projects. On Thursday, the trailer of Nithilan Swaminathan's revenge saga Maharaja dropped, which has the filmmaker in a grey role alongside Vijay Sethupathi. On Friday, the teaser of Bad Cop was unveiled which has Kashyap playing a villain to Gulshan Devaiah's cop avatar.

Disney+ Hotstar on Friday dropped the teaser of its next Hotstar Specials crime thriller series, Bad Cop.

The teaser shows Anurag in a gangster-like avatar, brandishing a gun, smoking, and dancing with an evil expression.

Gulshan Devaiah returns as a cop, post Dahaad and Duranga. His name is Karan, but there's a twist – he seems to have a split personality, and his darker side is called Arjun.

Anurag and Gulshan team up together after years

Anurag and Gulshan had earlier worked together in The Girl In Yellow Boots- which featured Kalki Koechlin and Gulshan and was helmed by Anurag Kashyap.

This isn't the first time Anurag is playing the ‘bad guy’ on screen. Before Bad Cop and Maharaja, he also essayed the villain in Sonakshi Sinha-starrer 2016 action thriller Akira, Nayanthara-starrer 2018 Tamil action thriller Imaikka Nodigal, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer ZEE5 crime drama Haddi last year.

Bad Cop is directed by Aditya Datt, who previously collaborated with Gulshan in the 2019 action film Commando 3. The series also stars Harleen Sethi, last seen in Sudip Sharma's Kohrra last year on Netflix India.

Bad Cop is an official remake of the German web series Bad Cop-Criminal Gut. The release date of the series is not known yet.
