The second season of actor Mohit Raina's much awaited web show 'Bhaukaal' was released on MX Player this Thursday. The crime drama features Mohit in the role of Navniet Sekera, a real life IPS Officer who tackled the organised crime in Muzaffarnagar during early 2000s. As a promotional event for the show, Mohit recently had a virtual meet with the IPS officers of Delhi Police where he talked about representation of cops in movies and shows.
He said, True and appropriate depiction of policemen in any visual medium is needed. There is a commercial angle to it majorly in films of different scale recently. However, the portrayal of cops on screen is an individual choice of the person whoever is making the story. Cinema or any visual medium comes with responsibility. We have to be responsible to the forces whenever we depict them.”
Talking about his emotions while donning the police uniform, Mohit said, Don’t think you are playing just a character, remember that with this uniform you are our representative towards the entire world and country. We all need to keep that in mind before we portray them in whichever way we want to.”
