Playing a cop is nothing new to actor
Gaurav Chakrabarty. He had earlier played a top cop in a crime series. Two Shabor films and ‘
Dwitiyo Purush
’ are also on the list. Gaurav is once again playing a cop in the recently released ‘
Flyover
’ co-starring
Koel Mallick.
However, the talented actor says Sabir Ahmed of ‘Lalbazaar’ and Amit Sen of ‘Flyover’ are completely different individuals. “Their profession might be the same but they are very different people. Amit is very “no-nonsense” but when he realises that Bidisha (Koel Mallick, who plays a journalist working on a story revolving around a series of accidents taking place on a flyover) might not be lying, he wholeheartedly devotes himself to uncovering the truth. Even at the cost of displeasing his superiors.”
So, how did he prep up for his role this time? “With the two Shabor films, Dwitiyo Purush and Lalbazaar, this is the fifth time I am playing a cop. It has not been a conscious decision. But with every role I have discovered something new about portraying a police officer on screen. With Flyover I have depended on the vision of director
Abhimanyu Mukherjee and the script. They have been the guiding forces,” adds Gaurav.
Flyover, directed by Abhimanyu Mukherjee, is the story of Bidisha, a journalist who is working on a story on traffic rule violations. One night, she gets arrested for murder and from there on a gripping tale of investigation begins with loads of twists and turns.
